Strokes
I need to know how to block power smacks.
Hi Ramiz,
This takes a lot of skill. You need to watch the ball very carefully and then use your bat as a wall to block the ball back. You need to keep your hand relaxed to absorb some of the speed.
This is not a shot that you can practice too often. It is more a matter of luck to guess the direction as well.

Our advice is to avoid the backhand smash and play the forehand smash instead. However if you do get caught out and need to play it, watch this video to learn the right technique to use.
