Hi Shaant,
Hitting a backhand smash is not a shot that we recommend. You will notice that most top players very rarely play a backhand smash. That is because if the ball is high enough, they get around and make a forehand smash.
If the ball is up a little higher in the backhand side you can play a Backhand Topspin like in this lesson.
