    How do you practice smashing?

    How i practice smash is i get a really good partner that know how to return smashes, he will be my opponent.
    he will have to set up smashes(eg. clearing to the back for a open jump smash) and also sometimes the opponent would cross court the return.

    also if you use this method with a head heavy racket it really works out your wrist :) It did for me atleast....

    p.s. heres a video example

    This is were Chen Jin and Lin Dan Faced off in All England 2008
    CJ(The smasher) smashes to LD(The returner) and LD Returns it And CJ Smashes again And repeat.

    I practise smashing by smashing :D. I just get a partner to feed lifts to the singles corner to me and I smash them. We repeat this before changing round.
