Hi Chesley,

The first thing about the backhand smash is that you shouldn't have tp use it very often.  In fact, if you have enough time to smash the ball you have enough time to get around and make a forehand smash.

If you do want to attempt a backhand smash get your bat up high at the start and hit through with a very flat contact.  Often when you try a backhand smash the ball can get too close to you.  Also make sure you give yourself enough space to hit the ball.
