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.
