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.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
