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.

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.

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