Hi Kim,
Thanks for your kind words.
Regarding the smash first take a look at the lesson we have on the Forehand Smash.
In most cases players try to make a smash when they really should be making a topspin. You only use a smash when the ball is above shoulder height and you have time. A topspin is a much safer and more effective stroke in most cases.
Good luck in your tournament.
