Hi Xavier,

If the ball is high it is OK to smash the ball with backspin.  You need to have some accuracy to make sure the ball gets over the net.  You can tilt you blade a little to face slightly towards the roof.  You will need to adjust this depending on the amount of backspin on the ball.

The better option is to topspin this ball.  This will give you a better margin for error over the net.

You can mix topspin to your smashes, to have less chance to get the net.  Perhaps your opponent was also doing that.
