Hi Brian,

The best weapon for an offensive player is the topspin.  With this stroke you can gain good speed and accuracy even of a relatively low ball.

Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Topspin Against Block.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.

My Disadvantages is to topspin on the table, 

I afraid my bat will hit on to the table.

Can you give a suggestion for me?

Sure, follow the ball as it is coming over the table.  If it only bounces once then you can topspin it.  If not then you can push or flick the shot.
