  Topspinner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In cricket, a topspinner is a delivery where the ball comes out the top of the bowler's hand, causing it to spin in the direction of travel.
A topspinner is generally bowled by a leg spinner or an off spinner.
Because the spin is entirely in the direction the ball is travelling in, the ball does not change direction when it bounces as a normal spin delivery would.

 Leg spin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While very difficult to bowl accurately, it is the most effective form of spin bowling against right-handed batters as the spin takes the ball away from the batter rather than in towards them, which is much more difficult to deal with.
Good leg spin bowlers are also able to bowl deliveries that behave unexpectedly, including the googly, which turns the opposite way to a normal leg break, and the topspinner, which doesn't deviate significantly.
A few exceptional leg spinners (notably Shane Warne) also mastered the flipper, a delivery that like a topspinner goes straight on landing but travels quickly and barely bounces on landing, often dismissing batters leg before wicket or bowled.

A topspinner is generally bowled by a leg spinner or an off spiner.

Pakistan offspinner Shoaib Malik is free to bowl in the first cricket Test against Australia at the WACA Ground because the report containing the verdict of the legitimacy of his bowling action will not be completed in time.
Malik underwent a two-hour analysis of his bowling action after being reported for bowling a topspinner with a questionable action during a one-day match against Sri Lanka on October 16.
Even if Shoaib's topspinner is found to be illegitimate, he could bowl his off-breaks or play solely as a batsman.

 LaserFibre Laser Supreme 17 String Customer Feedback
I had trouble with low shots against a flat under spin hitter because I let my racquet face open up to get the ball off of the ground and then the shot just goes way up in the air like a flyball in baseball.
Otherwise, against a high ball hitting topspinner it's good since I can keep my racquet face in.
It'll take some work to adjust on those low balls since I'm using to using the lower powered Gosen strings.
