Hi Mark,
Get more wrist action into the contact. Also try to contact the ball flatter. We also recommend that if you have time, you should step around and use your forehand to make the smash because you can get a bigger swing at the ball and adjust your arm for elevation of the smash a lot easier on the forehand side.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
