Jasper Low Asked 6 years ago
Recently I saw a comment about a backspin smash. How is it even possible to get backspin on a smash?

Hi Jasper,
The Backspin smash is only possible when the ball is higher. It is a very risky stroke because the ball will tend to float and can often miss the table.

Oh... My question was when smashing, how to get backspin on the ball
You can come down on the ball in a backspin action but this is a very unreliable way to smash and not one that I would recommend.
