Hi Peter,

You can use a slow spinny topspin especially when they play a fast and heavy backspin ball to you.  This is a stroke that can be really effective in this situation.  But you can also use t against block.  It is a good variation when you are playing against good blockers.  Blockers tend to like the ball coming fast and the same pace all the time.  Using a slow topspin can through them off their timing.

If your opponent plays this stroke you have a few options.  We have a lesson especially designed to show you what to do.  Take a look at how to Counter a Slow Spinny Topspin in the  Lessons Page of the site.
