HI Manvir,

You need to focus on this as much as you can when hitting the ball.

Recently I found that when hitting against a return board Iwas able to straighten my topspin really quickly because if the feedback I was getting from the return board.

Perhaps you could even hit the ball against a wall and watch the spin that somes back to you and make sure it is coming straight back rather than curving.
