how to hit a return smash on a perfect smash and place it correctly?
Hi Ramandeep,
Teh key is to stop them from making the smash on the first place.
To do this you need to focus on keeping the ball low during the rally and placing the ball well to gain the initial attack.
Think also about placing the ball short so that it is difficult for them to attack.
When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
