Hi Cristh,

It is best to try and either topspin or push this ball.  It will have some backspin on it so you can't just block it or it will go into the net.

If you are going to topspin it you need to have a more vertical stroke to cope with the backspin on it.  You won't have much time so make the stroke short.
