Hi Alex,

A couple of things to consider when playing a topspin stroke form behind the table are:
Use a big arm action.  This is an exagerrated topspin stroke starting lower and finishing even higher than a normal topspin.
You can give the ball plenty of air.
Try and get the ball deep on your opponents side.
Practice this stroke a lot during practice sessions.

Hope this helps you.
