Sorry, ive asked sooooo much question these weeks, but i'll try to minimize it.

Just wanted to know if you did a fh smash video why dont you might as well do a back hand smash one because im losing points doing bh smash. You dont have to put video, but its your own choice.

Thanks

Hi Mat,

It is not a stroke we encourage.  If you have time to smash with the backhand you probably have time to step around and make a strong forehand.  You will notice at the highest level players almost never use a Backhand smash.
