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.
