Improve your smash technique and decision-making.

🏆 Your #1 Takeaway

What are the key aspects to focus on to improve my smash technique and shot selection?

Focus on grip (Continental for flatter shots, wrist for spin), contacting the ball in front of your body by moving your feet back, ensuring a sufficiently high ball bounce, aiming parallel, and improving decision-making to choose the smash effectively over other shots like the vibora or bandeja.

What Your Guru Thinks

This lesson is quite useful if you want to refine your smash technique and make better decisions on court. The coach explains common mistakes players make with their smash, like using the wrong grip and hitting the ball too close to their body. He gives clear advice on how to correct these issues and also highlights the importance of choosing the right shot, not just smashing every time. You'll learn to hit with more power and make smarter choices.
