Hi Alois. I want to know when is the best time I have to do the transition from defense when I facing the smashes to an offense situation. Thanks :)

Hi Jason,
The best time is if they make a weaker smash and you have time to get into position to make a stronger shot.
Play with topspin initially and then just make the topspin stronger when you can.
