How to counter a smash?
Hi Karan,
The best way is to get back from the table and lob the ball back. This will give you more time to see the ball and position yourself.
If you are trying to counter the smash from close to the table you are going to need to get lucky because you haven't got enough time to react.
It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
