How to counter a smash?
Hi Karan,
The best way is to get back from the table and lob the ball back. This will give you more time to see the ball and position yourself.
If you are trying to counter the smash from close to the table you are going to need to get lucky because you haven't got enough time to react.
Curve the ball past your opponent with the sidespin forehand topspin. The sidespin not only causes the ball to curve but also makes it very difficult to return.
