Hi Vineeth,

You need to think about trying to get away from the table to allow yourself some more time to see the ball.  Then it is best to make a lob.  Take a look at our lesson on the Lob. 

← slow, spinny topspins   sidepin Backhand topspin →

Sounds like you will have to Block it then.  It is more though to keep the ball low yourself so that they don't get the opportunity to make the smash.
