Hi Felix,
This is a difficult shot. It is one that Jeff talks about a lot. When he first started to try and learn the stroke he says he really struggled with the whole concept of the stroke.
Focus on the start and finish position and also on the topspin contact on the ball as we show you in the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin tutorial. These three things will work together to get the stroke right. It will take time as it is difficult to get the contact correct while making the swing.
Persevere with it and I am sure you will start to get the stroke.

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.
