Hi Peter,
You can use a slow spinny topspin especially when they play a fast and heavy backspin ball to you. This is a stroke that can be really effective in this situation. But you can also use t against block. It is a good variation when you are playing against good blockers. Blockers tend to like the ball coming fast and the same pace all the time. Using a slow topspin can through them off their timing.
If your opponent plays this stroke you have a few options. We have a lesson especially designed to show you what to do. Take a look at how to Counter a Slow Spinny Topspin in the Lessons Page of the site.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
