how can i improve the slice stroke (tennis)?

Answer 1

DISGUISE THE SERVE - Not long ago, I was playing a set against a very good club player and was having pretty good success returning his tough serves. What helped me was that I noticed that my opponent used different ball tosses for different serves. I explained to my student after the set that he needed to hit all his different serves (flat, slice, topspin) from the same toss. I will share with you why this is so important:
The more the toss is changed, the more the service motion must be altered. And the more the service motion is altered, the tougher it will be to groove on the shot. Importantly, one will cut down on potential injuries. Players that use different tosses tend to exaggerate placing the ball behind them or off to a side, and thus must contort their backs to hit the ball there. A consistent toss = better disguise! When a different toss is used for each serve, the shot is telegraphed to the opponent, making it easier to return.

Answer 2

Your backhand I assume. Make sure You have the eastern grip. Start with your raquet high by your head, try and meet the ball with your raquet still point at the Sky and most importantly make sure you finish or follow through all the way with your raquet finishing with your raquet head pointing at the sky, It will take a bit of practice , but really focus on what you are doing and when you get a good one know what you did so you can duplicate it. In other words take your time. It really is am important shot to have . Just look at Gonzalez it was the main reason he made such a good run in the Australian. Good luck and if something specific really keeps getting in your way with it e-mail or IM me and I will try to help. You will get it with a lot of practice. Just remember the two key things are where you start and finish.

Answer 3

Ease up on the firmness of the wrist a little and bend your knees.
Dont over slice, keep stroke short.

Answer 4

put a racquet cover on your racquet and practice swinging it. After a while you can start placing tennis balls inside the cover to add weight. This will improve your extensor muscles for a slice.
