Hi!
How can i practise forehand topspin individually ,as i do not have a table at home i have it at school.
With the wall I try but the ball does not come on the table after hitting the wall.

Hi Huzaifa,
It is really difficult to practice the stroke without a partner. Maybe just think about doing one stroke at a time against the wall. Even if the ball doesn't come back on the table then catch it and do another.

#8 - Fast Footwork
In this session you'll focus on increasing the speed of your footwork. To do this we ask you to forget about consistency and concentrate on speed. You should be playing at a pace where you can get around 4 or 5 balls on the table. If you are getting 10 or 20 balls on then you need to up your pace again. It's important to play right to the edge of your ability to actually increase your skill level. We also continue to develop the new serve you have chosen to work on.

Yes that is OK to use as practice.

This is how I initially practiced my forehand topspin alone:
1. Throw a ball on the wall
2. Let the ball bounce on the wall and floor
3. Topspin the ball to the wall
4. Catch the ball
5. Repeat
In this drill, I tried to brush the ball upward as fast as possible, made the contact as soft as possible, made the ball go as slow as possible, made the ball descend before hit the wall, and made the ball bounce upward when hitting the wall. Very hard to contact with the ball when started practicing, but I think it's useful later when I applied it on the table.
