Hi Ashok,
To reverse the spin say from BS to TS you need to brush quite fast to counteract the spin on the ball.
The faster you graze the ball the more effect your spin will have. It is hard to quantify it.
A really important skill in table tennis is to be able to judge if a serve will be short or long. If it's short you won't be able to take a full swing at the ball and hence will need to use either a push or a flick to return the ball. However, if it is coming long then you can make a topspin attack. In this video we give you some tips to help you judge the length of the serve and hopefully this makes you a better returner.
