Hi Paul,
The topspin stroke is the best to start with when tackling backspin. The topspin will lift the ball better and enable you to get the ball up and down quickly onto the other side.
Think about the angle of your wrist when playing the stroke. Have it straight to the ball so that you generate the pure topspin. If you hit the ball on the side it has to have sidespin on it.
