Hi Hari,

For the smash start with your racket between your two legs and below your knees... sorry only joking.  Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Smash.

Forehand Topspin Variations

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.

I have read the lesson on forehand smash. It is written that start with your racket high. Does this mean thigh level.
