Tennis Slice Backhand Technique (KNIFE THE SLICE!!!)

This tutorial is guaranteed to improve your slice backhand massively. Here at Supreme Tennis, we have studied this shot amongst the top players in the world including the likes of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and many more pros at the top of the game. In doing so, we want to share with the information gathered, to give you the slice backhand that we all desire to have.

3 main points:

Keep the racket face more square at contact. To ensure this, maintain a square racket face in your take back position.

The ‘L shape you create with your hitting arm and racket, must stay constant throughout the whole stroke. If you break the L (if you break your wrist) as you hit into the ball, you will have far less control of the shot.

Open the front shoulder, without fully opening the hips. Remain side on throughout the stroke. The hips will open to some degree, but do not uncoil as aggressively as you would for a topspin backhand. Lead with the front shoulder.

Practise this shot to vary your game, give you more options and make you a more complete player. Do not forget to comment in the comments section if you have any questions, as we will respond to you within 24hrs.
