Hi,
This can be really difficult shot. You need to push forward on the ball and really go over the contact of the shot to make sure you are not lifting it over the table. It is difficult because you need to deal with the amount of topspin. The slower speed also means that the ball will go more up off your bat because it doesn't bounce forward naturally.
Take a look at the lesson we have on how to Counter a Slow Spinny Topspin.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
