I try to imagine that I'm driving straight up through my heels. It really helps with stability and I feel it more in my quads, especially when doing front squats. I agree, the smith is no great advantage, but if your really tall, it can be your best tool as traditional squats approach being dangerous on the back. With the smith, as others have said, you can place your legs out further. It looks kinda funny, but at least it is safe.
