Hey Alois,

I've been watching lots of pro matches lately and I keep seeing players smashing smash from their opponents continously. Do you have any tips for doing this?

Hi Bryan,

You need to see the ball early and be in a good position to do it.  Wait for the right one when the smasher plays a slightly slower ball.

Also do a search at the top of the Ask the Coach page and put in 'Smash to smash and you will see there are a few more answers to similar questions that may help.
