Hi Antowone,

The best thing is to move back as quickly as you can but still remaining balanced.  This will give yo ua little more time to see the shot coming.

The other thing to keep in mind is to stop them from making the smash in the first place.  Take a look at This tutorial we have on I Can't Return That Smash!.

So keep the ball short on your serve and try and catch them unprepared. Watch the video to find out more great tactics to use against a defensive chopper.
