Hi Jimmy,
As a rule for receiving you should stand just far enough away form the table so that when you are in the Ready Position you can just touch the table.
For the topspin or loop you are in a similar position, perhaps a fraction further away from the table to allow yourself to swing freely. This will also depend on the amount of time you have.

Our advice is to avoid the backhand smash and play the forehand smash instead. However if you do get caught out and need to play it, watch this video to learn the right technique to use.
