When I try to do a forehand topspin near the table, the ball usually goes outside. Can you tell me how I can do a topspin succesfullly near the table. Tks

Hi Duncan,
It may be as simple as closing the angle of your bat a bit. This will get the ball travelling a bit lower and landing on the table.
Make sure you are also getting a good brushing action on the ball so that the topspin will drag the ball onto the table as well.

Watch the ball carefully and track it all the way to the bat.
