Counter the smash with forehand/backhand topspin
Strokes
Archel Taneka Sutanto Asked 12 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.

Snake Shot
A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
