Smashing faster

Mark Hay Asked 11 years ago

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.
