Jump smash

Andrew Yau Asked 14 years ago

Hi i have learnt to jump/hop smash fairly well

The trouble i have is that smashing dead balls makes me nervous. I'm fairly short which is probably where my fear comes from but when im smashing i compensate the bat angle.

How can i improve the consistency and emotion problem :P

Hi Andrew,

Make sure you are waiting for the ball to come down to the right height before you smash. If you are trying to hit the ball from to high you will make mistakes.

I always stress getting your feet in the right position and using the time the ball is in the air to do this. This will then allow you to swing more freely.
