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.

Slow to Fast Progression

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.
