Hi Umar,

This comes down to playing style. There are some excellent defenders who chop balls back and rely on their opponent making a mistake. However these days there are a lot more attacking players who prefer to block or counter topspin the ball back aggressively. This can be hard to do but if you are successful puts a lot of pressure on your opponent.

Do you like to play aggressively or defensively?

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
