Smash pop out technique: wrist and contact point

What this lesson covers

Generating the pop out requires a specific wrist action rather than raw strength. Practice by bouncing a ball on the ground and using the wrist to snap it upward. This motion creates the necessary speed to clear the fence.

Contact occurs above the ball. Strike downward with a flat face to ensure the ball hits the court and bounces out. A shallow contact point results in a weak smash that merely hits the back glass. Select the right moment by maintaining high intensity and moving toward the net position after a strong volley or overhead. Only attempt this when the opponent is struggling and cannot execute a lob.
