The smash shot in badminton is considered one of the most powerful kind of shot that can tilt the score in your favour. This shot can only be excited when the shuttle is high in the air. The reason behind that is because from a high elevation point, the shuttle is smashed downward over the net into the opponent's court. There is almost no defence against such a shot because it is slammed so quickly and is at such a downward angle that it is difficult for the opponent to receive it.
