Hi Kim,

Thanks for your kind words.

Regarding the smash first take a look at the lesson we have on the Forehand Smash.

In most cases players try to make a smash when they really should be making a topspin.  You only use a smash when the ball is above shoulder height and you have time.  A topspin is a much safer and more effective stroke in most cases.

Good luck in your tournament.
