Need help with my 2 handed backhand

So, I am 4.0 left handed, hard hitter who usually uses top spin, and for my backhand, I prefer the two handed backhand... I've tried the one handed backhand but it didn't work out... So, im very inconsistent with my two handed backhand... Lots of times I hit the frame of my Volkl V1 Organix MP and the ball goes to the stands, sometimes I don't hit the ball at all... But! When I manage to actually hit the ball with my two handed backhand, on the sweet spot, the ball travels decent with lots of topspin! My inconsistency with my backhand has lead me do lots of backhands slices... What should I do???

Hard to tell without observing in real life.

What is your stance ?
Your grip ?
Are you pulling with your right hand as you swing ?

IMO, a closed stance and a flatter stroke will be easier to start with when it comes to the 2HBH. Most of the times it is also easier to connect to the ball if the racquet stays really close to your body and you do a clean, quasi left forehand when you hit the ball.

My stance is most of the times closed but sometimes semi open.
My grip is the Eastern Backhand/ Eastern Forehand Grip
And finally, yes, I do swing with my right hand. :)

I usually try to maintain the closed stance but if the ball bounces a bit higher, due to topspin, my whole movement is trash and as I said, I either don't find the ball at all, or the ball goes far too out.
