Hi Adrian,
You are doing well with your game.
I think it is best to keep topspin on the ball when you are attacking. Only when the ball goes really high you should think about making a smash. It probably needs to be higher that shoulder height to make a safe smash.
Your English is better than my Indonesian so don't worry.

Tactics Against Penhold Players
When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
