Hi Martin,
Take a look at our lesson on Counter a Slow Spinny Topspin. In this you will see that we show you a few options. If the ball is short on the table you can move close to the table and hit it. Because the ball is higher you still have the opportunity to attack it.
The key is getting in close to the table so that you are not playing the ball from too far in front of your body.

Strawberry Flick
The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
