Sometimes we miss to push the heavy backspin return and then we have to hit the topspin from below the table, if the ball is too near to the table then it doesn't work. what should we do?

Hi Abhishta,

You can lift the ball more.  Try to get as much spin on the ball as you can and place it as deep as you can on their side.

The spin can be effective.
