Hi Mehmet,

You should use the topspin stroke.  It is also called a loop because you are lifting the ball up.  You need a more vertical stroke but you still need to be brushing the ball to grip it and lift it over the net.

Take a look at the lesson on the Forehand Loop Off Backspin

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
