Hi Shahroz,
Try to get your smash stroke more forward. Also wait for the ball to be above your shoulder height before attempting the smash.
Take a look in the Intermediate Strokes section for our tutorial on the Forehand 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.
