Alois, how do I return a Smash?

Alois Rosario Answered 8 years ago

Hi Mason,

The best way is to move back away form the table as soon as you see your opponent preparing to smash. This will give you more time. Then you have the option of making a Lob. If you stay up close it is a bit of a risky option to try to make a Block shot.

Also take look at this video which may help you even more than anything else. I Can't Return That Smash!

Strawberry Flick

The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
