Hi Tejinder,
If they are putting a lot of topspin on the ball you need to angle your bat more forward. Also try to get the ball at a higher point so that you have more margin over the net when you are hitting.
Another thing to focus on is to try to stop him from making a strong topspin. This can be done by keeping the ball short or to more difficult places for them.
Take a look at our lesson on the Backhand Block for some more help.

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.
