In this Masterclass, I dive into the art of the slice backhand and what it can do for your game. The slice is effective in many ways. It disrupts your opponents rhythm and it can set up an effective approach that leads you to the net. The advantages of knowing how to hit a clean slice are essential for you to have a wholistic tennis game. If you are out of position, a slice might be your best move. The slice is successful more or less on each surface, which is why you need to know how to use it and when. 

That is exactly why such legends as Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal were able to add this tool to their game and go to the next level.

During this session, I teach you all of the key elements of how to hit a backhand slice including racket preparation, contact point, foot position, angle, balance and tactical options.

To recap, using a slice can break the pace, change the direction, and help you dictate with your forehand on your backhand side. In today’s game, it’s valuable to counterpunch vs. defend, even with this shot.

Watch and learn how to apply my slice methodology. And of course leave me a comment on how you implement my advices into your game.
