Hi Amekun,
Just flatten out the contact a bit. Don't think of the topspin and counterhit as two different strokes but just different versions of the same stroke. Take another look at our lesson on the Forehand Counterhit to see if that helps as well.

Snake Shot
A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.

im having a hard time with the follow through :(
whenever i do my follow through i think i add topspin to my ball
and how many degrees should i angle my racket for the counterhit
thx coach :)
As long as you get the contact right the stroke will be good. Don't worry if it feels like a topspin, if the ball is going on consistently that is good.
