Hi Rakay,

Firstly if your opponent keeps smashing the ball the key is about stopping them from doing that.  You need to work on the previous ball being lower or with more backspin so that it is more difficult for them.

For smashing we have a lesson made on this topic.  Take a look at the lesson called Forehand Smash.  Also our lesson on the Forehand Topspin will help you with your strokes.  There is a lot of information on our lessons videos on many strokes for you to work on.
