Hello there,

Can you explain to me how you smash a ball back effectively when someone slices it to you?

Thanks.

Hi Mark,

If the ball has a lot of backspin it is better to try to topspin the ball rather than smash it.  If you try to smash it you will have a very low margin for error and it is likely to go into the net or off the end of the table.

The better aggressive stroke to play is a Forehand Topspin Off Backspin.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
