One of the most neglected aspects of perfecting a stroke is learning how to load it properly.  If you first learn the proper balance, positioning, and timing, then you have a great base to develop more and more power, better deception, and more tactical variations.

Devastate the Short Pips Attacker

Learn the Details!

 
 
 
 
 
     The short pips smasher is often described as one of the scariest opponents in the game, unless you use the proper tactics!  You give a weak push – bang! It gets smashed at 90mph!  You give a weak loop – bang! It gets smashed at 90mph!  You block the smash and it go into the bottom of the net!  Wow, how frustrating!

Smashing Tips!

Learn 3 important tips for smashing!

Read the Opponent’s Spin
All high-balls should not be smashed in the same manner.  When you see a high topspin ball, step back slightly, start your racket high, and smash forward and down.  When you see a high backspin ball, step forward, start your racket lower and the angle more open, while smashing forward and slightly up.
 
Add Spin to Your Smash
A smash with some topspin will possibly be 10% slower, but it will usually have about 50% more control.  Be consistent in smashing – add topspin!
 
Place Your Smash Correctly
