What is explosiveness in striking a ball?

Does it mean a snap force to the ball only when it is contacted?

Hi Oscar,

Yes it is the acceleration during contact.  However this doesn't mean that the speed only comes on contact.  You need to maintain a smooth stroke as well.

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.
