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.
In this video we show you a simple trick to improve your strokes by making them more economical. You'll notice increased power for less effort. When you tense your muscles too much you actually get less power and become more tired. However when you relax the opposite happens. It's why all the best players look like they are hitting the ball so hard without much effort.
