How can I attack long underspin with fast topspin?

Hi Byron,

To make a faster topspin against the backspin ball you need to make your stroke faster.  As long as you have the technique correct of the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin then you can speed up the stroke to make the ball go faster.  You don't need to change the technique too much on the faster stroke.

First though make sure that you can hit the slower stroke well.
