Can anyone tell me how can I strengthen my backhand return and smash ?

Thanks.

By strenghthening your forearms fo number one and also to practice with a heavier racket, maybe a squash or tennis racket, but it does all come down to timing in the end as i am finding out.

If all else fails then do what really should be done and play round the head shots.

Good luck.
