Smash need far away to return. But how about close ????...

Hi John,

This is a very difficult shot. If you a re close and they are about to smash, you need to just watch the ball as carefully as you can and try to get a bat onto it to make a Block. Don't try to do too much with the return. Just blocking the ball will surprise them.

Snake Shot

A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
