Hi Mehmet,

You should use the topspin stroke.  It is also called a loop because you are lifting the ball up.  You need a more vertical stroke but you still need to be brushing the ball to grip it and lift it over the net.

Take a look at the lesson on the Forehand Loop Off Backspin

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
