Strokes
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.
There was. previous discussion in this link https://www.pingskills.com/table-tennis-forum/chop-smash.

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.
