Strokes
How can I hit a backhand smash when the ball is quite short?
Hi Abhinav,
If the ball is high then you can step forward and lean over the table a little to make the smash.
If the ball is ow then it is best to play a topspin stroke.

The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.
