Hi Alois ,

I am 12 years old . I live in India and i am addicted to table tennis. My parents made my join the classes but i wasn't interested but after the first day i loved it.

I have learnt how to hit a smash or a power shot but not how to dodge one.  Can you please suggest a trick or a stroke?

Hi Aditya,

It is great that you are enjoying the game.

To return a fast smash you can use the Lob.  You will need to move back from the table to give yourself more time to see the ball.

Of course the best solution is to stop them from making the smash by keeping the ball low and to difficult positions for them.
