How can I do a smash in badminton?
sounds like you aren’t time your smash correctly and also the angle that you are hitting the shuttlecock is not correct. make sure that you are behind the shuttlecock when ur doing your smash and that the point of contact to the shuttlecock should be about the 1 o’clock position (given that 12 o’clock is straight up). also you sometimes need to give your wrist a flick just to make sure ur racket head is facing downwards while doing the smash… just practise it and it will come to you… i can tell you that i’m still a beginner and i had the same problem as you until someone told me how to get it right…
