Hi Kelvin,
The best way is to play a Topspin stroke. If the ball is wider to the corners, then make sure you are moving into position first.
Take a look at our tutorial on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin. Then also take a look at this one on Returning a Long Backspin Serve.
I think they will help you to get the return right.
