How to counter a smash?

Alois Rosario Answered 14 years ago

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.

Strawberry Flick

The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
