When my opponent gives me a chop so how should I give a smash in return?

Hi Muhammad,

The simple answer is wait till it is high.  It is very difficult to smash a low backspin ball.  You are better to play a strong topspin of this ball and wait till you get a ball at around shoulder height before you try to smash it.

To make this smash you need to have a fairly open blade (the face of the bat facing a little upwards) to counteract the spin.
