Hi Yasir,
Firstly welcome as Premium member.
To get the smash right I like to get players to start by playing the stroke slower. First get the action correct and the timing of when you should hit the ball. Once you have that then think about hitting the ball faster.
You need to hit the ball when it is at around shoulder or head height. The contact needs to be flat so that you get the ball travelling faster when you swing through fully.
We have a lesson on this stroke in our Lessons section. Take a look at the Forehand Smash for a visual explanation of the stroke.

No Spin Loop
The no spin loop is a good variation that can be effective even at the highest level. Watch as we show you how to get this stroke right.
