Hi Mat,

Off a topspin it is best to Block or Flick the ball.  If you try to push it will go high and make it easy for your opponent to attack.

If you do try to push it you need to have a very soft hand and almost come straight down on the ball.  It takes a lot of gentle touch.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
