What is the purpose of backspin and frontspin? What difficulty does it bestow on your opponent?

Hi Patrick,
The topspin allows you to hit the ball faster. The backspin allows you to keep the ball short and make it more difficult for your opponent to attack. In general though, you should aim to play with more topspin.
