Hi Sundaram,
They can be awkward to hit.
Wait for the ball to be at a comfortable height for you to play your topspin. If you try to play the topspin when it is higher your arm and shoulder can get into a bad position. By waiting, you will get the ball more into your hitting zone.
Give it a try and let me know how it goes.
