Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome back to the YouTube channel! We are going to focus on kicking the ball out from further this time! I wanted to continue improving my kick smash after the lesson with German Schafer!

Kicking the ball out from far is a bit more complicated for me, because it's quite a different swing. Playing the ball fast is not the best option. I really need to focus on playing a more vertical kind of kick smash like Juan LeBron with a lot of rotation. The day we practiced this, the courts were very cold, and the balls were used, so it was not clear enough what works and doesn't work. Anyway, I need to start practicing the kick smash now so it's ready for the upcoming tournaments.
