Hi Mark,
Get more wrist action into the contact. Also try to contact the ball flatter. We also recommend that if you have time, you should step around and use your forehand to make the smash because you can get a bigger swing at the ball and adjust your arm for elevation of the smash a lot easier on the forehand side.

The Push in Detail
The humble push does not sound like an exciting stroke but it is one of the most important shots in Table Tennis. Having a great short push can be the difference between being an average player and being a great player. Make sure you allocate the appropriate amount of practice to mastering the push.
