Which topspin is better; a fast spinny one, an even faster one with less spin, or a slow spinny one as a regular topspin stroke?

Hi Romeo,

The important thing is that you can vary your topspin between these.  Start to learn with a standard topspin which has a medium amount of pace and spin.  Then you can start to vary the spin and speed slower and faster to get the variations.

In a match if you can vary these things it will add a lot of improvement to your game.
