Hi Peter,
There are different areas of pressure for each stroke. For the backhand there tends to be more pressure on the thumb, for the forehand more of an even pressure and for the serve it will change depending on the type of serve but in general on the pinch between your thumb and forefinger.
In general don't focus too much on this but focus on keeping the grip as light as you can... while still not letting go of the bat of course!

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
