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.

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.
