Hi Swaraj,

The topspin is an extremely important stroke so it is well worth persevering with it.

We really like players to focus on the start and finish positions of the stroke to get them right. Take another look at our lesson on the Forehand Topspin.  Take particular note of the start and finish and try to copy them.  Do the stroke slowly until it feels really comfortable.  This could take a few weeks.  Then you can start to speed it up slightly.

Countering a Chop Block

The key is to countering a chop block is to ensure you wait for the ball as it comes through much slower compared to a normal block. You also need to lift the ball more than you would against a regular block.
