Hi Shaant,

Hitting a backhand smash is not a shot that we recommend.  You will notice that most top players very rarely play a backhand smash.  That is because if the ball is high enough, they get around and make a forehand smash.

If the ball is up a little higher in the backhand side you can play a Backhand Topspin like in this lesson.
