Hi Jack,
This is possible but not advisable. This is one of the things I see too often especially with junior players. It may feel goo to attempt these sorts of strokes but it just doean't make any sense.
When you have an opportunity to smash you are usually in a 80 to 90% chance of winning the point. Hitting the ball with backspin or sidespin increases your chances of making a mistake greatly. There is no point in reducing your chances. Just use the normal smash to win the point.
