Thx. Demos with the camera behind particularly helpful.

Great points by Martin and cannot wait to try this.

Good video . Watching a couple strokes at .25 speed makes the swing path clearer

Great video. Thanks for posting.

I found once I stopped trying to put too much backspin on the ball, it helped a ton. Kind of like when Nate mentioned the “bowl” swing path.

This just works. The long taught method of a follow thru into the court naver gave me the results this method does. Also, using an 18x20 string pattern helps a great deal on a slice backhand, as well.

*Awesome* tutorial. So glad you included a few angles of the ball being sliced. This really brings the tutorial to life. The gentleman hitting that slice makes it look so smooth. Nice new crisp balls too from the sound of it. Nice slice ! nice slice tutorial ! Thank you ! 😁 🙏

I imagine you could apply these two principles taught for the backhand, to the forehand slice? Hit more towards the "forehead" of the ball, and strike zone closer to the body?

I notice your racket head speed is faster too when you higher with the racket. Question when should I use this instead backhand because a slice if too high can be an easy return for my opponent.

Love this! I've never been able to hit a slice and I can tell that I've been doing it all wrong.

point one: yes, point two: no. you need a weight transfer to your slice just as much as with your topspins. reaching of course in no go either. now about some points that were not in video: point 3: hitting from high to low. point 4: loose grip. point 5: racket lag, point 6: followthrough.
