 Is there a way to increase smash efficiently, more accurately and more powerful?

Hi Xain,

Take a look at our lesson on the Forehand Smash to start with.

One of the keys I find is to make sure you are moving into position well while the ball is in the air coming towards you.  Use that time well.
