You can definitely cut it back, as I said, but the sheer lack of space on a table tennis table, combined with the speed and spin of the shot, makes dropping in returns to topspins pretty much impossible. It's always going to come off the end of the table, in which case the player will generally have enough time to get to it, and at that point you've pretty much given him control of the point by chopping back.
Yeah, I'm never played any kind of decent tennis. I guess the same factors are probably at play. I wasn't fast enough to play tennis.
