Hi Jahan,
A good guide about smashing is if the ball is above shoulder height then you can try to smash it.
Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Smash.
If they are smashing at you firstly it means that you are giving them the opportunity by putting the ball too high. Try to keep the ball lower and away from their stronger side.
If they do get a higher ball and make a smash then you should move back away from the table to give yourself more time to see the ball. Then make a Lob stroke.
