At exact 3:57 your racket passes through a completely horizontal stage where your stringbed faces up. Why is that. I do that too. Also on my topspin onehanded backhand. Also Federer does the same. But nobody ever talks about it. Please explain. Thanks for the video.
Excellent! I’m using the aggressive slice now and it’s working perfectly against my opponents. I’m using the Federer approach and it’s driving my opponents crazy! Can you do a video on how Federer used his aggressive slice to his advantage? Thanks!
I like your instructions because they are very clear. However, I would love to watch a longer demonstration than just the one shot you shown. Thank you for reading my comment.
Thanks, Nate, those are all good points but I would add one more. We have to make sure the racquet head is closed enough at the point of contact. Sometimes students do not imagine the shot correctly and they think that in order to get a good backspin on the ball they need to open up the racquet head and cut under the ball! Which is, as we all know, not what really happens on a good slice!
Follow across is a really nice bit of improvement. For many club players it would be nice to know how to deal with a shoulder and above hight slice if you don't have enough time to back up. Mine often land too short. Luckily those junk ballers often don't know what to do with them:)
Hey nate and scot which forehand do you suggest to copy a djokovic style or a federer with a semi western grip? And if you have another suggestion please share
I would go with Novak. Much easier to replicate. Roger's forehand requires incredible timing in order to abbreviate the stroke and have the arm fully extended at contact. Hope this helps!
Hey Nate, thanks for that video. I always have a question. Sorry bro. Lol. I kinda ask my clients to follow through the ball and allow the racquet to "take it's natural path (across the body)". Am I wrong for saying this? Reason being, when I show them the racquet come across the body I've typically found they give more side spin than anything. Most of my clients are the 3.0 to 3.5 level, 4.0 at best.
Hey Simon, always happy to help! As long as they're allowing their arm to get to extension before they swing across their body they are good to go! Make sure they don't over rotate though, they can avoid this by holding their non-dominant arm back. Hope this helps!

Love it! 👊 We’ll be happy to!
Great tips Nate, thanks.
And don’t forget tip #0 - continental grip!
eastern is better
You know it! Gotta have a continental grip (even if it's slightly eastern). Glad you enjoyed it Dan!

Thanks for watching and the feedback Victor! We'll keep the tip in mind moving forward

Apprecitte the feedback Artem! We have something in the works for a video that deals with the issues you mentioned. Stay tuned!

@@Playyourcourt Thanks for the reply ,
Very useful, thanks ☺
Always happy to help August!
@@Playyourcourt Is the contact point the same as for a topspin, i.e. roughly 45 degrees in front?
Is the weight transfer between your feet the same as a drive backhand?
You're on my man! Thanks for watching!

@@Playyourcourt I understand, thank you.
good stuff
Much apprecitted!
I found my backhand slice is better now just from putting my arm straight
That's definitely a key factor! Thanks for watching!
