a lot of timing. And as the term suggests, you're going to jump and smash at the same

time.

The shot is identical to a regular smash except you're in the air while you're actually hitting

the shuttle. And the purpose of this shot is to get more trajectory, more steepness

when you're smashing downward. So you end up smashing closer to the front of the net

instead of towards your opponent's body.

If you notice when Jeffrey is hitting the smash, he's striking the shuttle when he's

at the peak height. And that's really important. Timing is very critical in the jump smash.

If your timing is off you're going to mis-hit this shuttle and lose a lot of power, perhaps

even completely mis-hit the shuttle.

So that's your basic jump smash.
