Hi, Steven! I have now words to explain how important your lesson is. I've been searching for a fix for this problem for years. I've searched and viewed hundreds of backhand slice lessons, nobody has every explained how to fix this problem. I've searched and posted on multiple tennis forums with no luck. Wow. Thank you. You are a genius.
Brilliant. This is one of the biggest problems on the slice and this is a very creative fix. Another method I've heard is to pretend you're hitting the bottom of the hand below the pinky, which encourages the same thing
Great video, but I have a question. At the end your example with Djokovic, isn’t his wrist moving at the follow through of the slice? It doesn’t look like it’s in the same 90 degree L position 5:07
Feels like Christmas, this shot has eluded me for eons. Awesome, I'll give it ago as I KNOW this shot breeds fear and hesitation into your opponent. Very valuable shot, thanks Steve, so aggressive. At times I'm convinced you're reading my mind, this being one of them... excellent video! 🙂
I just realized this is why my double-handed slice backhand (yes...I do it 😅 it comes very naturally to me) is quick and does not float like my one-handed slice, its because with two hands its very difficult to deviate the racket from 90 degrees. Thank you for the videos, all great.
Rosewall and Federer have great slices. But yet their motions are quite different. Perhaps you can discuss what these differences are and which is more suitable for rec players. 🤔
@@oneminutetennis Had not seen that video. Yes, that video explains it well... And does this rec player ulnar drift error occur on the forehand slices as well? 🤔
Great timing, about a year ago I had a lesson about exactly this but I have wandered back into that wishywashy wrist drift stuff. On a related note do you think for the average club player like me this sliced BH is better/easier than a topspin one? (which I find tricky)

cant be agreeing on this one!! No one stays in that 90 degree and especially not the profesionels , also not 1 profesional is following towards target keeping the racket on the left side of the body because that would make them go out of the natural swingpath. the ulnar deviation happens also natural because in the take back you get into that radial deviation position due to the left hand bringing the rackecket back but the moment they release the left hand it goes towards neutral position ( which is about a 125/130 degree angle which is also the most powerfull and stabel position ) and players like federer go even behind that towards a ( around ) 160 degree after contact ( radial to ulnar is a short action and for that can bring a lot racket head speed but i dont advice it for beginners or intermediate players ) I do recomend a firmer grip for beginners and intermediate players and if posible the djokovic style and not the federer style( even the video of djoko shows that 125 degree at contact !! )
Recently, our coach had us *exaggerate the extension of the elbow joint* during the stroke. Imagine doing a large, theatrical *karate chop* Start behind your left ear (sorry lefties), proceed sharply downward at a steep angle, through the strike zone (from baseball: shoulders to knees), and finish with your racket arm raised and extended toward your target. Always remember to maintain the strict 90 degree forearm-to-racket angle mentioned in this video! 😁FYI: Tomaz (Feel Tennis) has his younger players take swipes at the net when doing this so the tip of their rackets make a slight 'tchik' sound as they pretend to cut a big diagonal slash in it. This one little trick instantly added power and spin to our BH slices, making them penetrating and skidding shots that became very difficult for the opponent to handle. PLEASE TRY THIS TIP! I get a small commision on each new attempt - double if you scream "Hiee-YAAAH!!!" 😉

Beautiful 'No Ulnar Deviation' explanation Coach👏

Hi! Could you, please, explain in detail your method? I did not understand it clearly. Thank you!
@@dimawood007 in a sense pretend that you are hitting the slice with the buttcap of the racquet and not the strings
@@at1838 Thank you so much! :)
Great observation + Great lesson = Great outcome... thanks Steve!

I will try this tomorrow. Thank you!
Yes! This has plagued my slice since I started playing tennis! I find that I do this on volleys too.

Interesting. I used to hit with David Ferer. And his two handed slice was very quick
He's a genius!
Great video. As usual, you get straight to the heart of the matter.
Been trying to teach the slice. This is bound to be helpful
brilliant!!
Thanks mate
Another great lesson... Thank you
Very great video. The racquet face should be open or close?
Great tips
Good lesson! thank you! very true
Excellent!

Hi Steve, probably also the backhand volley could have the same trouble, isn't it?
Totally correct. And these drills help the backhand volley in the same way.
But.
You already have a very good backhand volley.

Would’ve been nice to see you actually hit a few balls.
