Strokes
How do I return a smash with a power shot? Some of my friends can do it but I am very inconsistent.
Hi Charley,
This is not something that is easy to do. The more important thing is to keep the ball lower so that the other player doesn't get a chance to make the smash.
To return a smash with a smash you need to watch the ball very carefully and be ready and also a bit lucky.
Learning to play the forehand topspin (also known as the forehand loop) in table tennis is one of the biggest steps forward you can take with your game. The topspin will cause the ball to dip down allowing you to hit the ball harder yet still maintaining consistency.
