Hi Sam,

It is a matter of changing your outlook of what you are trying to do.  You also need to feel natural.   Practice staying up close to the table during the training. You could put a barrier behind you when you are playing.  This will give you physical feedback of what you are doing.

Lobbing Tactics

If you get pushed back from the table don't just give up the point. Try and and get back into the rally. By lobbing the ball high and deep you give yourself time to get into position. If you can then get some topspin on the ball to force the smasher further away from the table then you are likely to get a weaker smash and then you can take your chance and try to counter attack!
