Hi Hunter,

If the ball is low then it is better to make a topspin rather than a smash.

You could work on getting him to hit the ball higher by putting topspin on your serve or shots.  Then when he does put it up higher you can use your smash.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
