How to play with a smasher?

Hi Tommy,

The key here is variation.  You need to change the speed, spin and placement of your loop.  Then it will make it difficult for the other player to make an attacking shot.  You can play both faster and slower to make it difficult for them to time the ball properly.

For players that like to smash on both sides sometimes even placing the ball to the middle of the table can be difficult for them because they don't have space to swing at the ball.  Often it takes just a slight variation to make it a lot harder for them.

Try out these tips and let me know if it works.
