Take Your Tennis Game to the NEXT LEVEL with These Two Shots

- If you're stuck at intermediate tennis level you need these two shots to move up to advanced: the backhand slice and the slice serve. Both will destroy your opponent's rhythm because they're not used to these two shots.

Years ago I watched a video from you analyzing Ash Barty's slice. Since then I have done a lot of damage with that shot. My favorite combo is to keep slicing crosscourt till I get an easy ball that I can slice down the line.
It's not a matter of figuring out just how much of a slice I shall deliver --- it is a matter of getting it over the net and in.
I'm with you. I've gone back to flat serving just to get it in.
Love this content, as someone who struggled for long with the serve and that, while mostly better now, still has some issues from time to time and for me THESE TIPS ARE VITAL. And I remember hearing a concerning amount of YT coaches insist on varying the placement of the toss, which struck me as something bad at anything other than a very basic level, happy you make sense for me on that.
Also have been working a lot on my slince bh, and what you and my real life coach mention line up so nicely.
I completely agree with everything you said. Unfortunately the successful implementation of both strokes requires the use of the Continental Grip. For a 2HBH player (majority of players) the Continental grip is a critical grip for every tennis stroke except the topspin forehand ground stroke. Yet it is the least likely grip to be used by those 3.5 NTRP and below. This is why 3.5 and lower is the largest segment of league ranked players. Basically a 3.5 ceiling/barrier exists because of how low the usage rate of the Continental grip is at this level. Yes there are a some 4.0 non Continental grip players out there.. Most of these players have 4.5 potential but will never get there because they’re wasting heaps of athleticism just to overcome technical deficits stemming from using improper grips. I know this is nothing new to any Coach. All RUclips coach’s should have at least one “Continental Rant” video in which they don’t hold back and complain about how shortsighted (dumb) it is to be using a Semiwestern /Eastern forehand grip for everything except it’s intended use, a forehand ground stroke. 😂
Thank you. Video you mentioned at the end is missing.
I just checked, I did put it up there now.
True, thanks, but it’s missing from mobile view on ipad.
Is backhand slice useful for doubles?
Doesnt the righty slice serve come back to the right, because its lateral spin direction is actually the same as with a kick serve? I think its more about its mid flight curve where it tails away from your opponent before it bounces.
What is the advantage of using karioka footwork on slice? Thanks
The reason that players use a forehand grip and have a flat serve is the incompetence of the coaching community. 80% of the kids in clinics are allowed to serve with a forehand grip. When I pick up a kid who has had lessons and has a forehand grip, I advise him to have the mother get all the money back from the former pro. Shame on idiot coaches. The first continental grip serve to teach is the topspin serve. The slice serve is a ticket to doom as your level increases. The slice serve moves to the forehand of a righty returner which invites attacking returns. 70% of the woman pros cannot hit a topspin serve and give opponents a clean shot at a forehand in the pocket. It is the single biggest failing of women’s tennis vs men’s tennis. You absolutely do cut a slice serve, the issue being how much cut. If a played is gifted at larger amounts of side movement from the cut, they can give fits to their opponent. Since more than half the women pros cannot hit even a decent slice, how do you call it a weapon? The most important spin on both groundstrokes is hook spin. Hook both causes the the ball to drop while hitting in the target line and enables the advancing player to learn to create more real estate on the court by creating angle. Slice serves and slice backhands are what 3.0 players have, and it is at that level where they shall stay.
