Hi Yong,

It is not something that you need to learn. You will find that you will be able to generate more power if you are on the ground and get your weight going forward with the smash.

It is a bit of a clown around shot that payers will use when they are playing an exhibition match or playing up the crowd.

You will see that very few professionals play this stroke when they are in a serious match.

Snake Shot

A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
