Coach is it wrong to block smashes.  Some people whom I play with keep on telling me don't block hit it back, do I have to hit it back or just block it.

Hi Arif,

A smash is difficult to attack back because you don't have much time.  The best response is to block or lob it back if you are forced away from the table.
