- Tennis Lessons - How To Deal With slice shots in tennis.
Tennis tactics and tennis strategy by Top Tennis Training's Simon and Alex. In this video we will teach you how to handle low balls in tennis and how to defeat players who use the slice a lot in matches.
Low slice shots are some of the hardest types of balls to handle in tennis, however there are a few ways to overcome the low ball.
1. Hit the low ball with heavy topspin and overcome the slice on the ball with your own topspin which will allow you to hit aggressive but maintain the consistency. If you simply tap the ball back, the slice on the incoming ball will make the ball move on your strings which will result in your shot being erratic and you losing control of the shot.
But by brushing up the back of the ball aggressively, you will be able to overcome the slice with your own topspin.
2. Slice the ball back. As the ball is low most of the time when you receive that slice shot, it makes sense to slice the ball back to keep yourself in the rally in a neutral position.
After you hit that low ball, you will have a few options, depending on the position you hit that shot from you will have to decide whether you move in towards the net, typically you would do that if the ball is shorter, or if you will hit that ball and return to the baseline, normally on deeper slices.
This is video 2 of 3 that will be released as part of our Tennis Tactics Blueprint course which will be released very soon.
Inside the full course we will teach you how to win more tennis matches against any style of opponent you may play, in any condition you may face.
After going through the full course you will win more tennis matches and will have the knowledge to defeat any style of player you may play in a tennis match or tennis tournament.

I played one guy this past weekend and that’s all he did to me hahah and he would be close to the net.
I really struggle playing against opponents who almost ever shot is slice. Glad i found this video, look forward to trying this out!
Thanks for making this vid although it is 3 years old it still helps
Glad it was helpful!

Terrific video, guys! Love the fact that you are playing on grass court dressed in white, adds so much class to this very informative video. Great explanations all the way through. Plus I love the fact, that you play a lot of balls. Nothing is more dreadful than to watch 15 minutes of talking with no playing at all.
Thanks for watching!

😭 this is my biggest weakness. In my local league (open level) i can usually beat big hitters, servers, etc. My game rellies on power and consistency, and as long as i can come to the net on my terms i can do pretty great too. But handling low balls and being forced into the net (with short slices or drop shots)is an entirely different thing. There is this one dude in particular who beat me the last 4 times we played. He just keeps bringing me in with shots like this then passing me. He also pushes and cheats a lot. I think hes gotten in my head too. Next tourny he is for sure gonna be there. I'll work on this big time and see if i can turn things around next time i play him. Thanks guys.
It's good to have those sort of rivals, it motivates us and keeps us improving to beat them. Try to do the same to him. See how he likes it. If he cheats then get the tournament referee and if there isn't one call him out on his dodgy line calls and tell him that two can play that game.
Let us know how it goes
gefhspiral, so, how did it go?
gefhspiral hi
gefhspiral hello~
gefhspiral why dont you just out play him and keep in way inside the court so he cant call that shit. How did it go. Its been a year. I hope you beat them
I needed this lol
thanks a lot. I really needed this video. this is my weakness, especially on the forehand side.
Fhs Dnz mine too!
Just what I wanted to learn. Thanks, guys 👍

tnks i know better now last time i lost to a slicer and Iwas hitting power drives straight over the top fences
Great videos, one question... How many t shirts do you guys own?
Using topspin on an incoming slice is very tough to do. For us weekend tennis players at least.
Yes, you're right but it's something that everyone should work on otherwise you're at the mercy of slicers.
Overcome their slice with your own topspin.

Need specifics on hitting a slicer’s ball while I am at the net. Seems to go into the net way too often? Same with easy overhead on that slicer’s shot toward me
I know someone who is an expert at hitting a cross court angled slice from anywhere on the court that lands inside the service box. I think you guys call that a chip . He beats most supposedly 4.5 players with this shot because all they know how to do is hit fast topspin shots from the baseline. When he hits them this chip shot they frequently can't get to it and if they do they just pop it up. Then they get stuck at the net where they are lost. You guys should have a video on how to hit this chip shot and why it is so effective against a baseliner.
9:20 - 9:41 this is exactly why kyrgios is a world class tennis player
Realy nice video! Finally I can beat up those disgusting slicers 😂
🤣
Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina. What kind of surface are you playing in? Thanks in advance !!!!
They're on grass courts
How do you deal with forehand low ball? Recently, I met an opponent with a compact top spin forehand - which generates speed & pace (sudden acceleration upon touching ground). Other than using FH slice, how do you deal with those black magick forehand ?
Sounds crazy but in that instance the approach would either be high loopy (or balls that kick up high) to try and prevent them from using the Topspin in the first place, or go after the backhand?
Thanks, a week ago i played a tournament and the guy have only slice, and i lost, now wont happen again
Hey Simon, Shvain this side from India....there’s one thing I’d like to confirm on hitting the slice balls.
What I feel is that hitting those balls right on the top before it drops is very important because at that time it has zero pace and you really need to generate your racquet head speed plus I also tried hitting at backhand disguise drop shots also helps just give a surprise element to the opponent.....I am actually 6.4 tall and hitting those dreadful backhand slice down the line was always a trouble for me I cannot maintain a strong court position if my opponent hitting slices down the line hope fully I can try this in practice.

Question: On YT-channel Tennis troll there is a player called MEP. As you can see - he usually hits with underspinn and/or sidespinn. And not a lot of pace... When Im facing those kind of shots it make me defensive because my returns to those tend to go too long. The reason to that is that most players I usually play hit with at least some topspinn... So - should my groundstroke swingpath be more vertical to those underspinn/sidespinn shots to create topspinn? And/or faster swing than normal? Sliceshots with more pace I use to handle better...😊
MEP would struggle big time against a player who uses heavy topspin and pace, you can't dink the ball back in play against aggressive spinners, the ball shoots off the racket.

I play a guy who has a great slice backhand that bites and stays low. Very difficult to play. Thx
Thanks for watching

Very nice outfits :D
Is that surface synthetic grass?
He said it is artificial grass.
Another useful video! Thanks a lot. It would help if you stood still more while talking ;)
Thank you for watching, we hope the videos have helped your game!

Close your eyes when listening...
funny how you're showing the backhand side ... but often slice comes on the forehand... and it's a nightmare. just look at Wimbledon games ;)
8:09 we cover the forehand side ;-)
Top Tennis Training - Learn Tennis Online I spoke to quickly' my apologies. :). hope to see other video commentary of sparring partner with pro' it was so cool the one with Roger!
If the other player is a lefty ,how you will play against him ?!thanx
You could use the forehand slice or backhand slice DTL
When the slicer chips a lob over your BH, good luck, unless you are young, quick and have an excellent BH overhead, as virtually no players short of the 5.0 level has.
You should get a wildcard for Wimbledon doubles...
😜
how should I deal with a slice and volleyer? I mean he can slice anything to near my baseline and then go to the net
At around 12:20 they talk about countering deep slices. I think the trick is to keep your legs low. If your opponent is coming to the net too much maybe you need to hit deeper so he wont be able to do that so easily. If he does better on one side maybe hit to the other more often and keep them moving side to side so they wont be able to come forward.
how about going for a dropshot off the opponent's slice?
Simon and Alex can you guys do another forfeit challenge
Ok we will try to do some in the coming weeks
Top Tennis Training - Learn Tennis Online... Please tell how to hit like Alex did at 7:21 with two handed
Top Tennis Training - Learn Tennis Online yes we want forfeits
Thanks for that
Guys is that surface real grass or some kinda of carpet?. Thanks!
Artificial grass, far from the real thing lol
I just lost my first hs match because all my opponent did was slices non stop
Sound advice, but given the frequent references to 'the opponent', this is clearly intended as advice for singles play rather than doubles. Surely it's worth saying, then, that it's even tougher to go down the line (7.47) if you're using the required singles sticks? Wouldn't it be better accordingly to demonstrate that point by using sticks with that doubles net? Come on guys - it wouldn't take that much effort to have the net at the correct height for your singles instruction.
Tomorrow, I have a match against a slicer. Let's hope your ideas work for me :)
Good luck!
@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Thanks guys.
how about you use a Ping Pong Raquet to counterack the spin?
Haha
I don’t care what level, a screaming slice low at feet is one tough shot.
Absolutely 👍
@10:12 .. artificial grass courts
I hope my hitting partners never see this video. Every time I want them to net the ball, I give em a nasty nasty slice. I don’t do it too often so they don’t catch on lmao. Cheeky I know, but I’m not exactly a 5.0 I gotta get my points where I can.
Thanks for watching Daniel
We use whatever we can to win lol
I want grass :///

@@TopTennisTrainingOfficial Thanks! I loved the one the slice serve too. You guys have covered so much and I am still working through all of your tutorials.
Is Murray a slicer
He uses the slice a lot, especially now on the grass courts, however I wouldn't call him a "slicer". His main style of play is more a counter puncher
This video is not good because background sound
Sorry about that
You guys talk too much . Why don't you demonstrate those shots
Well you can't expect someone to not explain anything and expect you to be able to understand or do it properly 😂
This video was the biggest waste of my time today. Learned nothing.
I really struggle playing against opponents who almost ever shot is slice. Glad i found this video, look forward to trying this out!
