Advanced kick smash techniques and tactical variations.

πŸ† #1 Takeaway - How can advanced players improve their kick smash consistency and deception?
Focus on hitting the ball at the highest point and aiming for a bounce closer to the back wall (around 3m) to go out, and practice a shorter preparation swing to enable both powerful kick smashes and softer fake smashes, making you less predictable.

What Your Guru Thinks

Very insightful if you are looking to refine your overhead game, particularly the kick smash. Coach Mauri and Marcus demonstrate key elements for hitting the ball out, focusing on contact point and spin. They also introduce a crucial advanced concept: using shorter preparation to allow for both powerful smashes and softer fake smashes. This makes you much less predictable on court.
