Hi Alois,

I know one of the option to return a smash is to lob the ball back but I am scared my opponent will smash it back. So can you make a video of how to chop a smash back.

Hi Linus,

It is an option to chop a smash.  It is the same stroke as we show you in the lesson on the chop.  You just need to adjust for the lack of topspin and the extra speed.

I hope some of the Premium members will vote for you.

I assume it's not a party trick if you use LP, SP or Anti because you can't really lob with these rubbers so you have no choice but to chop a smash?
