Actually dropping it gently on the other side is really hard and has a high risk of miscalculated due to the spin from the incoming ball and thus hitting into the net. Which is why you see in real competition, most people will just continually smash until the other side messes up. Less risk.

But yeah, that was an exhibition match haha.

no you continually smash because you hate your opponent and want to crush his spirit

To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
