When and how hard to smash
Strokes
Alan c Asked 11 years ago
Hi, sometimes I see professional players immediately smash the ball when returning a serve, I was wondering in what circumstances could and should you do this. Thanks!

Hi Alan,
I think they often use a topspin. The smash is a flatter stroke that has little topspin on it. A safer stroke and the one that they use most of the time has a lot of topspin on it to make it dip onto the table.
