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.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
