Dear Pingskills Coaches,

Is there any other way to return a smash other than making a lob or chopping?

Many Thanks

Hi Yacine,

You could try to block it from close to the table but this is very risky as you will not have much time at all to see the ball.  

You can also try to topspin it from back from the table.  This is an option but you need to see the ball early and have time to play a full topspin stroke.

The Finish Position

There are 3 basic areas to focus on when learning a stroke: 1) The position of your feet. 2) The starting position of your bat. 3) The finishing position of your bat. Of all these 3 elements the finish position is the most critical. Watch this video to find out why.
