How do you block a Smash?

For example you hit a smash then how will I counter it with a smash or block it with a spin?

Is there a way? 

Thanks

Hi,

You are best to take a few steps backwards to give yourself time to see the ball.  The lob is a good defense.  Often the ball is travelling too fast to be able to block or smash it back. 

Take a lok at the lesson on the Lob.  This will help you.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
