Hi Ricardo,

It is probably a technique problem.  You should probably start with a 1.5mm sponge under the rubber to give you a bit more control.

Work especially on your defensive stroke.  It will improve with some practice.

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
