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.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.

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