Hello, I want to ask: How can I return a fast topspin stroke without blocking it? What are the options? Thanks. Tibor

Hi Tibor,
You could try to make a counter topspin. Topspin to Topspin. This is harder but possible, if you move away from the table to give yourself more time.
You can also try to chop it back. Backhand Chop. Again this involves moving back from the table to make the stroke a little easier for yourself.
