Hi Coach,

Whenever I play my forehand topspin against my friends, the ball always misses the table and my opponent gets the point

so how can i prevent this?

Hi Adheesh,

Take a look at the lesson on the Forehand Topspin Against Block.  This will show you the best way to play the stroke correctly.

Curiously, I think the most important factor of the stroke is the finish position.
