Hi,

This is a weird question, because i am really good at smashing but is there any way of making my shot even faster?

Hi Mark,

Think about your preparation for the smash.  Get your body side on and get all of your power transferring forward into the ball.  then make the contact flat and get your bat coming through as fast as you can.

It is important not to try too hard though because that will only lead to unnecessary tension in your body and arms.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
