Hi Yanyan,

The Backhand smash is a difficult stroke.  WHen the ball is high on the backhand side it is best to move around quickly and play a Forehand smash.

However, we will have a lesson coming out soon on the Backhand smash technique.  We have filmed it and it is now being edited.  Keep an eye on the site.
