Hi Raj,
Yes you should aim to smash the ball if it is up that high. Ad an option you can let it drop and topspin it but at the higher level if you do that you will give your oppoenent too much time and won't be able to hit the ball as fast.
Practice your smashing.

Tactics Against Penhold Players

A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
