So i was playing against someone and all they did was play defensive backspin and i use a lot of topspin but i know topspin does not go well against backspin what should i do instead?

Hi Bradey,

You should keep trying to topspin the ball.  It is the most effective way to combat defensive players.

Take a look at the lesson on Forehand Topspin Off Backspin.  This is an important stroke to master.

Berry v Datta

Shibaji Datta is a hot favourite in this match up against the unusual style of Brian Berry who loves to mix the game up with some great defensive play and some whippy forehand attacks.
