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.
