Hi Mat,

Off a topspin it is best to Block or Flick the ball. If you try to push it will go high and make it easy for your opponent to attack.

If you do try to push it you need to have a very soft hand and almost come straight down on the ball. It takes a lot of gentle touch.

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.
