Strokes
Hi, what is the difference between a loop, drive and smash? Could you explain the technical difference as well in executing the 2 different techniques?
Hi JinMeng,
A drive has more topspin, the smash is a flatter contact and faster shot.
The drive you would contact the ball with more of a brushing action and have a more vertical action. The smash you start with your bat higher and come through more horizontally.
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.
