A "smash" in tennis is one of the most powerful strokes in the game since it demands a tennis player to hit the ball as hard as they can, with all of their body force behind the blow. If the stroke is forceful enough, this approach may frequently be utilised to terminate a point. A smash can occur from either a forehand or backhand attack, however the forehand smash is far more prevalent because to its lower difficulty. A smash is usually shot from mid-court, before the ball even bounces, for maximum force, but it can occasionally come from a lob on the court's baseline.
