Hi sir! Can you tell me what tactic should i use against a player who always tries to smash the ball. Because whenever i play my opponent moves to make room for hitting the ball and smashes it.

Hi Hari,

In our Premium Lessons we have a lesson specifically designed for this.  It is titled "I can't return that smash".  For all of you Premium Members you can access it directly.  If you aren't a Premium member you can sign up for a free 7 day trial and see the lesson now.

In it we show you that it is about what happens to prevent the person from smashing rather than dealing with the smash that is important.
