Hi Usama,

Smashing is like any other stroke.You need to practice it.  I find that most players that have problems with smashing don't get into position well.  Use the time when the ball is in the air to get yourself into good position.

In my opinion, I think that waiting for the ball to come down then execute a forehand loop is more efffective than smashing the ball.
