“That’s the pickleball smash!”
Ennis was amazed—one swing and the game’s momentum totally changed.

🔥 ◆ What Is a Pickleball Smash?

The pickleball smash is when you hit a high ball with force, slamming it downward with your paddle.
It’s fast, powerful, and gives your opponent almost no time to react.

🎯 ◆ When to Use It?

After sending your opponent back with a lob, Ennis used the pickleball smash.
By hitting a high ball near the net, you can win the point in one go.

🏋️ ◆ How to Do It?

Watch for the bounce, then pull the paddle back and swing your arm for speed.
Ennis focused on generating momentum and snapping through the shot.

💡 ◆ Common Mistakes

• Swinging too early → causes out shots
• Paddle face too flat → nets the ball
• Overpowering swing → loses control
Ennis learned to “swing smooth, but sharp.”

🧠 ◆ Tactical Use

Ennis learned that the smash is a finishing move.
Hit it when your opponent is off-balance—you’ll stay in control of the rally.

✅ ◆ Summary: Smash to Flip the Game!

The pickleball smash may take power, but it delivers impact.
Ennis thought, “Wow, that felt amazing when it landed!”
Watch for your moment, go for the smash, and turn the match in your favor!
