Hi Lachie,
Take a look at our lesson on Practicing Alone. This moght give you some ideas.
You could also look at getting a return board or just use a wall to hit against like we show in the lesson.
The forehand and backhand topspin strokes are two of the most important strokes in table tennis. In lesson 6 you start playing these strokes first by getting someone to throw the ball to you. This makes it easier to get into the correct position and concentrate on the correct start and finish position, and the essential brushing contact. You can then progress to using this in a rally where your training partner learns to block the topspin back.
