Hi Alois

If a my opponent pushes a backspin ball downwards with a long pimple rubber instead of just blocking the ball, what spin would I get.

Hi Yap,

It won't have as much topspin as it would if he just pushed forward on the ball but it will still have a little topspin on it.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.

 It always feels that I have got a backspin ball, do I need to brush the ball more?

Yes, try brushing up a little more.
