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.

The Push in Detail
The humble push does not sound like an exciting stroke but it is one of the most important shots in Table Tennis. Having a great short push can be the difference between being an average player and being a great player. Make sure you allocate the appropriate amount of practice to mastering the push.
