Just realised I also swing the racket from the side and not from straight. Definitely going to put this in practice tomorrow

Indeed my cross court is better, I do the corkscrew too. I tried this, but it feels a bit awkward. When I smash straight, I tilt my racket head a little bit, makes it harder for my opponent to see where the shuttle is going to (I hope !).
THX so much for the tips, a video says more than a 1000 words !

I took a closer look at the smashes performed on our trainings session yesterday… For me, I’m doing a “half” corkscrew because my racket arm stops in front of my body and not on my left side… It feels quite interesting when focusing on your method

I realized that there is even another technique on how to do a smash: must be the “windmill”… really scary!

Thanks Paul, I thought I was right, but this video confirms it, I was doing the corkscrew motion as well.

I thought my hand was relaxed until I thought about it during a game and I realised it wasnt as relaxed as what it cud have been. I definitely felt it improved my control and power when I tightening only on impact. Cheers
