Hi Alois, i was wondering how can i make a very fast smash? because i remember last year i played somebody who played and what he did was, when the ball was high: 1. He closed his angle of the bat, 2. he went pure fast, 3. the ball went so fast it left me a bruce. How can i do this and also how can i maximize my smash speed?

thanks for reading!

Hi Paswuale,

To get more speed you need to flatten out the contact slightly.  By hitting the ball flatter you will generate more spin and less spin.  If that is the effect you want on that ball, then hit it flatter.  Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Smash.
