Question
Explain the following term:
Slice
Solution
- A slice forehand or backhand is essentially the opposite of a topspin shot. Rather than brushing up and over the tennis ball, a slice shot is hit by brushing underneath the tennis ball and creating backspin.
- Players hit the forehand and backhand slice with one hand, usually with a continental grip or a slight variation of this grip bordering on an eastern.
- The slice shot can be highly effective to quickly change the pace of a rally to throw off your opponent. It’s often hit as a defensive shot when a player has little time to react, or when a player is on the run.
