What is the rule of thumb for when to use a loop and when to use a drive?
Hi Vincent,
A lot depends on the type of ball your opponent doesn't like.
Against a heavy backspin ball as well you are probably better to loop while against a higher blocked ball you are better to drive.
Our advice is to avoid the backhand smash and play the forehand smash instead. However if you do get caught out and need to play it, watch this video to learn the right technique to use.
