i cannot hit topspins while playing a match to crush my opponent but i hit deadly topspins while practicing. Is this because of wrong action?

Hi Shaun,

In a match your shoulder will often tighten a little which will make a big difference to what happens to the ball. 

So focus a little more on the tension in your shoulder and see what it feels like.  Do this during practice and during a match and see if there is a difference.
