Power shot

The power shot is an offensive high speed move involving hitting the ball forwards with a lot of power so it travels extremely fast. While not as practical as your standard Neutral shot, it is still widely used as a reliable rally finisher. Power shots test your opponent's reflexes and decision making by giving whoever is receiving the power shot an average of less than a second to think about how to respond to the power shot.

Execution
As the ball approaches, get closer to the ground so you'll be level with the ball when you hit it. When the ball is close enough and just off the ground, hit it most forwards really hard. The ball should be flying forwards.

Offensive

 * Precise timing is the secret ingredient to a great power shot.

Defensive

 * You can fight back! Power shot countering is a very popular move to combat power shots with.
 * Know your enemy. See how often they use power shots. Once they're in, stay on your toes and get ready to deflect!

Trivia
