Hi Ben,

Get someone to hit the ball to your backhand side consistently.  You should then try to get as many balls on the table as possible in a row.  Repetition is the best way to practice it.

Lobbing Tactics

If you get pushed back from the table don't just give up the point. Try and and get back into the rally. By lobbing the ball high and deep you give yourself time to get into position. If you can then get some topspin on the ball to force the smasher further away from the table then you are likely to get a weaker smash and then you can take your chance and try to counter attack!
