Learn the fundamentals of the smash (or remate), a finishing shot executed on high balls near the net. Beginner smashes focus on simple mechanics, consistency, and converting high-ball opportunities into winners.
Stand near the net with knees slightly bent, eyes on the incoming high ball, weight balanced.
Rotate your shoulders sideways as the ball rises, opening up your body for the overhead swing.
Raise your hitting arm overhead with elbow bent at roughly 90 degrees, positioning your racket behind your head.
Step forward or sideways with your front foot toward the ball's trajectory, transferring weight forward.
Drive the racket forward and downward through the ball with maximum acceleration, making solid contact at the peak of your reach.
Complete your swing across your body and recover to a dominant net position for any weak return.
