Hi Abram,
Take a look at this lesson on the Backhand Chop. This will show you the technique for the shot and also show you that when the ball is faster you need to have a more downward swing.
It is all about getting the angles right. If the ball is faster then come down, if there is more spin you also need to come down. As the smash is fast but may not have much spin, you need to adjust again.
Make sure though that your stroke is simple and in one plane.

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.
