A forehand smash is an aggressive shot used in racquet sports, such as tennis, badminton, and squash, where the player hits the ball or shuttlecock forcefully with the dominant side of their body. The player typically hits the ball or shuttlecock when it is high in the air, using a strong downward motion to send it over the net with speed. The goal is to hit the ball or shuttlecock so hard and accurately that the opponent cannot return it.
