Hi Minhaj,

We find Backhand smash a really difficult shot.  I think it is much better if the ball is high enough to smash that you turn around and make a Forehand Smash.  If the ball is not high enough for you to get around in time then play a Backhand Topspin.  This is a good simple method of dealing with these sorts of balls.
