What is a smash shot?

A smash shot is a powerful overhead stroke used in sports like tennis and Badminton, typically executed when the ball is high in the air. It involves a quick, downward motion to hit the ball forcefully, aiming to send it past the opponent and win the point. The smash is most effective when the opponent is out of position or unable to return the shot. Proper technique is crucial for maximizing power and accuracy.
