How do I encounter such strokes?

Hi, I saw your website and your videos and I think it was awesome! So I came to ask you, what do I do if I encounter the following strokes below?

1. The Forehand Smash/Hit.

2. A serve with a low ball.

May I know what do I do if I encounter such strokes from my opponent? Thanks, your reply will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Stevan,

You counter the Forehand smash you need to move back away form the table far enough so that you have enough time to see the ball and make an effective stroke.  The ideal stroke is a Lob which you can learn by following the link.

To return a low serve, the best way is with a <a href="http://www.pingskills.com/lessons-forehand-push.php"> Push</a>.  If you can get the return short to your opponent that is ideal as it will not allow him to make a strong shot at you.

I hope this helps you.
