Hi Pronit,

A topspin has the same basics as we shoe you in the lesson on the Forehand Topspin.  The trajectory of the swing depends on the type of ball you receive.

So off a push ball that has a medium amount of backswing you will need to have a more vertical trajectory than off a blocked or topspin ball.  Off a heavy chop you will need an even more vertical stroke to lift the backspin.  Try to keep the basics the same though.
