Coaching points
Smashing players need to point at the ball with non-playing hand to achieve better balance and tracking of the ball.
Players need to move quickly and get behind the ball in order to transfer their body weight forward when hitting.
Coach should check that players take the racket back and up (without dropping the racket head) when preparing for the smash.
More advanced players can practise top spin lobbing.
