Doc's Tip of the Night - Slice BH

When learning the Slice Backhand try to turn your shoulders in a sufficient manner so that a majority of your back is facing the net, coach, or opponent. And when contacting the ball your elbow should be fully extended. This should allow sufficient space away from your body to allow for the proper follow through of the shot. The most common mistake I see with player's learning this shot is that it is usually contacted too close to the body which then affects the control, power, and placement of the shot. So remember, a full shoulder/back turn when preparing for this shot is of utmost importance.ay
