Smack

Description

Put the ball of the foot down with the leg held straight instead of bent, which gives a harder, more percussive hit than an ordinary step. Usually it takes your weight like a step, but it can also be played without weight, like a touch.

Practice Tips

• Keep the heels lifted so only the ball tap hits the floor.
• Keep the leg straight all the way down; bending the knee at the last moment softens it back into a normal step.
