Counter the smash with forehand/backhand topspin
Strokes
Archel Taneka Sutanto Asked 13 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff,
I've seen many videos that counter the smash with the forehand/backhand topspin. Is that a good option to counter the smash?

Hi Archel,
If yo have time it is good to make a topspin. It is the most difficult shot when you are away from the table because it will take more time to make the stroke.
A lob is like a topspin but just a slower stroke that goes up higher and gives you more time.
