Hi Adrian,

You are doing well with your game.

I think it is best to keep topspin on the ball when you are attacking.  Only when the ball goes really high you should think about making a smash.  It probably needs to be higher that shoulder height to make a safe smash.

Your English is better than my Indonesian so don't worry.
