Hi Hari,

For the smash start with your racket between your two legs and below your knees... sorry only joking.  Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Smash.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.

I have read the lesson on forehand smash. It is written that start with your racket high. Does this mean thigh level.
