laughingSir,

Alois and Jeff ,

If the height of the room in which we are playing TT is shorter.

And the hits a smash so how would we return it without touching the ball in the ceiling.

Hi Rishabh,

You need to keep your lob low and deep.  If you hit the roof with the shot you lose the point, even if the roof is low.

The answer was helpful sir, but what kind of shot would be the best to return the smash at this condition.

 should i simply take a block or hit a return smash

You can lob but make sure you keep the ball low.  It becomes almost like a topspin.
