Hi Ashoke,

Topspin is a key to being able to generate more speed on your strokes whether it is in the rally or on the return of serve.

Without topspin you are giving yourself less margin for error over the net and onto the table with all of your shots.

Work on developing the topspin even with your initial forehand and backhand strokes which will then merge into your faster topspin strokes.

Take a look at all of the Basic strokes with topspin to help you here.  You will find them in the Strokes section of the site.
