SLICE IT: Backhand slice technique

If you are hitting too many balls to your opponent’s strike zone, try hitting a backhand slice. Line up your left side by getting your left leg behind the ball. Set the racquet face open as you take it back, and lead with the outside edge—this opens up the front edge of the racquet face, creating underspin.
