Forehand slice/cut?

ok here goes...

what you need to do is simple...what you have been doing is almost correct...only thing is that the point of contact with the ball isn't enough....

using the opposite of hitting topspin forehand...u start the racket head up high...racket face up....aim under the ball...then with one smooth motion cut thru the ball and finish the slice some where around ur front knee...

the slicing forward motion will further push the ball down and provide better accuracy...this will prevent the ball from going into a lob...

another way you can do this is by what i call a smile slice....

u start the racket swing up...take the ball in front of you in a "U" motion and finish up towards the other shoulder...this will give you mad underspin...and also keep the ball low and unpredicatble...its not an easy shot to do...but once goin in..its a feat to watch...

cheers...hope it helps ya out

You can use www.tennis.com or about.tennis.com. With some searching you can find information on all groundstrokes complete with instructional videos. However, I use the forehand slice often when trying to confuse my opponents. The reason you keep hitting lobs is that your racquet face is too open. Make sure there is only a slight angle in your racquet face with the top of the racquet towards the back of the court. Also make sure to use your opponents pace to carry the shot make over the net and focus on sweeping your strings down the backside of the tennis ball. If you learn how to absorb your opponents power you can create a forehand you can either slice or create a drop shot without giving up valuable space over the top of the net.

On the other hand, the forehand slice is used more as a defensive play. Therefore if you are using this shot a lot, make sure to work on footwork and speed as well.

As you can see azngamer828, you will get lots of explanations, descriptions, some good, some bad.

I have 2 things to say about the forehand slice/cut:

1. Angle your racket.

2. Practice, practice, and practice.

Everyone has their own unique style of play, and you must learn to develop and to stick with your own style. You must practice it until you begin to feel that the racket is an extension of your hand and arm.

When the game is on the line, you see an opening and you want to use the forehand.slice/cut, you're not going to recite and recall all the hints, advice and suggestions given here. Rather, you will execute this move automatically, like its second nature to you, and this will only come about by doing, repeating and drilling Steps 1-2.

Best.

How's your backhand slice? A great backhand slice is a very slight high to low stroke with flat, solid follow-through. And leaning your body into the ball makes the stroke even more powerful. The word "slice" can be misleading because you're not really slicing down at or under the ball; you're trying to stroke the ball back with underspin. So, on the forehand slice, turn your body and lean into the incoming ball. Take the racket back in a slight high position and follow-through flatly to a slight lower position. Follow-through is so important here. And try to hit the ball in front of you(the 2 o'clock position).

the easiest way to do the forehand sice/cut is to stay low on the ball (knees bent) and then have the strings facing diagonlly up(not too steep)and then hit the shot through.the key is to not go underneath the ball on a forehand slice because this sends the ball up, the best way is to hit right through it and over your shoulder. the tilted strings provide the slice.

Forehand slice? I would just hit the underneath the ball. That would make the ball have underspin and when it hits the court, it bounces back. I dont think you use it often

The only reason a ball goes up is because the strings are pointing up at the point of contact.

When you hit topspin you're strings are not pointing down on contact do they?

So hit it with your racket going from top to bottom for the slice but your strings should point only slightly up but mostly pointing straight forward.

you're opening the face of your racket when you hit it so your return seems like a lob...also, you need to relax your elbow a bit when you hit this shot, so you absorb some of the ball's energy...it's a finesse shot so go at it slowly...racket face needs to be perpendicular to the ground, let up slightly on your elbow and push the ball and slightly angle your racket, that will slow the ball down and give it some slice (cut)...I practice on my Wii!

Nice looking horse, he looks strong enough to do about anything. He has good conformation. He does have somewhat of a dropped hip, but he may be able t o stop and turn better. He has lots of inside gaskin. I was skeptical about his height? Did you measure him or is that what you were told?
