How do you return a smash with a smash?
With great difficulty! :)
The shot will be pretty much the same as a normal smash but you'll have much less time as the ball will be travelling towards you very quickly. Try to pick a ball that is around shoulder to head height as this will give you a reasonable angle to try and smash the ball back.
This is one shot I wouldn't try and think about too much. If you want to try it just hit it fast and see what happens. It's never going to be a high percentage shot. It's actually not a bad tactic though if you do get forced back. You are going to lose most points from back there so trying something like this is OK.
