Strokes
How do i make my smashes harder?
Hi Carrington,
To get the ball faster you need to hit the ball flat.
Also make sure you are hitting the ball at around shoulder or head height. This will allow you to maximise your power with your stroke.
Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Smash for more tips.

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
