Lately my smashes either hit the net flat; or go out. how can i improve the accuracy of my forehand, and specifically, my backhand Smashes.

Hi Vigneswara,
You can add a little topspin to the ball to give it more safety.
The other thing is to wait for the ball to be a little higher before attempting to smash with both Forehand and Backhand.
Take a look at the tutorials on the Forehand Smash and Backhand Smash.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
