How do I hit the ball harder or play more aggressive shots easily
I’ve been playing paddle 1-3 times a week for the last two months now. I have been described as being quite good defensively and I do prefer playing more controlled or cute shots (to the wall or corners and stuff).
I play on the left side normally, and I need to start being able to hit the ball harder or smashes (especially at the level of opponents that I’ve been playing has also improved). Anyone have any advice on this? Is it because maybe I don’t play close enough to the net? My bio mechanics? If anyone has any general tips that would also be very helpful!
Edit: I’m not asking about how to smash per se, but like what are some tips to improve technique to hit the ball harder and more accurate (and win more points)
