When you are standing below the ball and waiting for the smash hit opportunity, your opponent will run to the other side of his court. After he/she does this, aim your smash for the side that player was just on and you will have about a 90% chance of scoring.
General tips
Always hit the ball where your opponent is not, to keep him/her on his/her feet. You will have a better chance of scoring if you hit the ball away from your opponent. Do not assume anything. When your opponent is about to hit a deep shot, stay in the center of the court so you can reach a ball that is hit to either side.
