How do I hit a forehand smash with proper technique without basic errors like the ball hitting the net or going out of the table? I am a school level player and have to play next week please help.

Hi Ishita,

You can take a look at our lessons page and in particular the page on Strokes & Technique.  This has a lesson specifically on the Forehand Smash which will show you the correct technique.  Good luck in your matches next week.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
