Hi Dola,
To improve your backhand you need to work on your technique. Watch our videos on the Backhand Counterhit, the Backhand Topspin Against Block and the Backhand Topspin Off Backspin.
As for the backhand smash, it is a very difficult shot because of the height of the ball. Once the ball is up around head height it's hard to get your arm high enough to control the ball. You are better off moving around and playing a forehand smash. If the ball is high enough to smash then you will have time to move around.
