Hi Leo,
The forehand topspin has the same technique with shakehand and penhold. Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Topspin Against Block and take particular note of the start and finish positions of the stroke. Try to concentrate on these and you will soon find your topspin starting to look and work better.

Curve the ball past your opponent with the sidespin forehand topspin. The sidespin not only causes the ball to curve but also makes it very difficult to return.

I am shakehand grip player and sometimes i play with penhold grip for fun and forehand topspin in penhold is very easy. For me it is easier than shakehand forehand topspin... :)
