7 Tips For A Better Slice Tennis Serve
Learning to hit an effective slice tennis serve may need a little more detailed video instruction but here are 7 tips to hit a wide slice serve to the deuce side: (for right-handers of course)
1. Position yourself more to the right of the middle to have a better angle.
You can even stand half-way between the middle and the sideline.
2. You need a continental grip so that you will impart slice naturally.
3. Toss the ball in front and little to the right.
Experiment to find the right place without losing balance when you serve.
4. Imagine hitting the ball from left to right (or from 9 to 3 on an imaginary clock on the ball).
5. Continue your movement forward with the edge of the racquet going forward.
Do not pronate too much. Again, hit many serves to refine this feel.
6. Rotate your shoulders and finally face with your body towards the target.
If you end up facing straight ahead then it’s hard to steer the ball left.
7. Practice, practice, practice.
I once coached a player from Hong Kong whose groundstrokes and volleys were average for his level of play, but his serve was exceptional.
I asked him, where he learned the serve, who coached him, how did he practice and so on.
He said, he just served every day more than 1 hour after his regular practice ended.
No coach, no drills, just trying to serve more accurate and faster.
