Learn the 3-step technique for a powerful flat smash to hit "por 3".

🏆 Your #1 Takeaway

How can I improve my flat smash technique to hit the ball out of the court by three walls ("por 3")?

Focus on a 3-step technique starting with the paddle back at shoulder height, pointing the non-dominant hand at the ball, and swinging downwards and forwards to impact the ball with wrist action, generating lift and power. Practice drills that encourage wrist mobility and hitting the ball with the upper part of the paddle face for optimal lift and depth.
