How do you smash back when the opponent smashes
Strokes
Minhong Kim Asked 11 years ago
When the opponent smashes I usually can't return it or it gets caught by the net. What should I do to reduce the opportunity of doing that?

Hi Minhong,
The main thing is to keep the ball low so that they don't get the opportunity to smash. Once you put the ball up high you are a low percentage chance of making the return as you are giving them the opportunity to attack fast.
The idea isn't to try and smash it back but rather to move back and make a Lob to keep yourself in the point.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
