Hi Kjell,

You have a famous Table Tennis name.

To counter a sidespin topspin try to play a topspin but allow for the sidespin on the ball by using the angle of your racket. I find it easiest to do a siespin topspin back in most cases because this also counters the sidespin on the ball.

This is a very advanced stroke and is something that will come with time and a lot of playing experience.

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
