Hi Kourosh,

For the forehand smash take a look at the lesson on the Forehand Smash.  However a lot of players try to smash the ball when they should be trying to play a Forehand Topspin which is a much safer stroke and you can still hit it really fast.

Against the backspin ball use the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin stroke.
