Perfect Slice Serve in 3 Steps - Perfect Tennis (Episode 3)

How To Hit The Perfect Slice Serve in 3 Steps - Perfect Tennis (Episode 3) The slice serve is one of the best ways to start a point in tennis. For a right-handed player, it allows you to open up the court on the deuce side and for the left-handers, it allows you to open up the court on the advantage side. It's also very effective at jamming players with a body serve. In this video, Coach Simon of Top Tennis Training will show you how to hit the perfect slice serve in 3 steps. Step One: The Grip The continental grip will allow you to keep the racket on edge and carve around the top right side of the ball. Step Two: The Contact Try to make contact with the ball at around 1 o'clock for right-handers and 11 o'clock for left handers. This contact point will help you create the slice but also hit down on the ball slightly to bring the ball down. Step Three: The Body Try to imagine throwing your right shoulder into the ball, which will help you uncoil with the upper body and create the perfect alignment of your shoulders to create the short angle.
