Hi Jonathan,
When you are further back yo have a bit more time to attack the ball. You can use bigger strokes. There is no real difference in the topspin strokes just make them bigger so that you can get the ball all the way back to the table. You can also get the ball going higher sometimes if you want to. This can be an awkward ball for some players.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.

So it would be the ideal place for looping?
Yes you can use the loop from back there.

would you recommend a fast topspin or rather a faster one ?
