When do i use "spike" the ball and "smash" the ball?

[Sab]

I want to express that i can powerfully hit the ball down over the net in order to "kill" the opponent in any ball games. I found i should use "spike" for volleyball and "smash" for tennis, badminton. I wonder are they interchangeable? or they are specific words used only for different ball games. Besides, can i use "smash" the ball for ping pong? Thanks for your reply.
