Winner smash aimed at the fence mesh rather than the glass.
Definition
The remate is a smash or overhead finishing shot specifically aimed at the fence mesh enclosure (as opposed to the glass back wall). It's used when the court is open and a direct winner is available. The fence provides a clear boundary and is often an easier target than bouncing off glass.
Origin: Spanish: 'remate' (finish), referring to finishing the point with power.
Executed when a lob is short and you have clear space at the fence; a direct winner is more reliable than a glass rebound.
Technically, they're the same shot—both are powerful overheads. 'Remate' emphasizes aiming at the fence vs. glass.
No—both are putaways if hit cleanly. Fence or glass depends on court geometry and where your opponents are.
