Hi Khalid,
We love answering questions at PingSkills.
Your trainer is right. To get more topspin you need to brush the ball on contact a little more.
Watch the flight of the ball after you hit it. The topspin ball will dip a lot more and the flat ball will travel a little straighter before it stops. Experiment and try to hit some so the ball goes straight and flat and others where the ball has a lot of dip. This will teach you the difference of the two. Both strokes are useful, but you need to be able to generate topspin as well as hitting the ball a little flatter and faster.

OK, that makes sense. Thanks.
What do you think about mixing speed paddles with control rubbers or vise versa?

Whoops I thought I was responding to a different question.
Sorry.
