How do you execute a slice in tennis?
552205
A pure slice serve has nothing but sidespin, but most slice serves also have some topspin or, more rarely, backspin. Topspin-slice serves are often called slice serves, and while there's no sharp line between the two, a serve that is at least 75% sidespin behaves differently enough to deserve the distinctive name . Between 100% topspin and 100% sidespin, any mixture of the two spins can be created. The higher the percentage of sidespin, the lower the bounce and the sharper the curve to the left (from a right-handed server). The extreme slice serve often has some backspin, which further accentuates the low bounce and the leftward curve.\n\nThe serve shown here is a pretty heavy slice, having at least 90% sidespin. It would be used primarily as a first serve, because the lack of significant topspin gives it a low margin of error over the net. This serve will pull the receiver wide, opening up the court, and often stretch her too far to hit a solid return. On the ad side in doubles, it can pull the receiver far enough onto the deuce side so that her opponent blocks some of her placement options. If you place a slice slightly to the right-handed receiver's backhand, it will curve into his body to "jam" him.

ok where to start, the basics to a serve are basically the same for most people and even the pros.\n\nto start off, you want your back foot to behind your front foot. for example, if your right handed, youre left foot would be in front of your body and your right foot would almost be behind. if you watch all the pros, they basically all do this and it gives you a lot of body rotation. you can either choose to slide your feet in or keep them there, whichever is more comfortable. \n\nalso, you want to be hitting it with preferably a continental serve(you can look it up for pictures of it if you dont know what it is). you can easily kick serve with it or get a nice flat serve if you flick your wrists. pros already get a lot of speed just by their arm motion and the flick of their wrists, which is one of the hardest things to learn.\n\nlearn where to toss the serve so that it is comfortable for you and is best for whichever serve you are doing. \n\nthats all i can think of at the moment.... so good luck. if you can find videos of aggasi serving, it is a nice solid serve to learn off of, otherwise federer's is nice as well.

Practice doing this by yourself with a bucket of pucks.\n\nGet someone like a coach or an older player to show you the proper technique on how to do it.\n\nI'm not an expert but I think it's mainly using your wrists and an upward pulling motion when you are in very close to the net.

When using a forehand for topspin get above the ball a little more and angle your raquet slightly downward, swipe towards the net in a slightly down ward angle (think shoulder of your raquet hand to elbow of your free hand). Don't over angle your raquet or you could send the ball strait into the net. The key is getting above the ball just right, it will take some practice.\n        \nFor backspin reverse the effect, get under the ball a little more and angle the raquet upward, this time you may want to change your swipe from shoulder to elbow to elbow to shoulder.\n\n   Backhand is basically the same thing but with two hands. The only difference is you need to catch the ball with a sort of arch swing, this will increase your chances of nailing the ball into the opposite front box.\n\n    This takes practice, but keep trying, and don't lose hope if it doesn't work for you at first. Every player is slightly different when it comes to creating the right amout of spin in any direction. In good time, your opponent won't know what hit them. Good luck, and keep on playing!!!

Take several steps back to the left or right of the ball.Left to curve right and right to curve left.Line yourself up at a 45 degree angle with the ball.Strike just to the opposite of the side your kicking from and sweep your leg through in an upswing motion.The longer the distance the better you can curve it. Try to get yur foot under the ball for more heighth which means a better curve.

Hold the racket in your left hand, the frame should be standing up and the strings should face the net on one side and the back fence on the other side.  Now take your right hand and lay it perfectly flat.  Then place the racket handle into your right hand.  Your right hand should be grabbing the racket from "almost underneath" the handle.  You now have a fully western forehand grip.

Key to a good serve is consistency and accuracy. The main thing to concentrate on is timing, and serving action: should through the ball approximately 1 racket distance in from the baseline and hit it just as its dropping from the highest part of your toss.\nOnce you have mastered the technique, timing and accuracy, you can build on it by adding power - its important to not try hit it "too hard".\nLastly, another important thing is to develop and effect second serve - one you can depend on. This is normally a slice/topspin serve or a reduced speed/power version of the 1st serve.

Two things are happening.\n1) You are hitting the ball with a slightly open face.\nThis alone produces a high shot that starts right and goes right. \n\n2) You are swinging from outside to in and not straight through the ball.\nThis alone produces a shot that starts left and slices right.\n\nCombining the above will produce a high shot that starts out straight but then slices badly once the side spin overcomes the velocity.\n\nRe-check your swingpath and grip.

1.   Stand with your feet closer together than when you normally swing.  \n  \n2.   Position yourself so that the ball is closer to your back foot.  \n  \n3.   Use a flop wedge, also known as a 60-degree wedge. A sand wedge can be used in an emergency.  \n  \n4.   Swing the club on a steeper plan (more upright).  \n  \n5.   Hit directly underneath the ball before taking a divot. Take a divot that is long and shallow.  \n  \n6.   Follow through normally.

For digging....Make sure you are not swinging at the ball. If you have your hands in the right place and the hit is hard enough, the ball will pop right off your platform. (also....have your hands positioned to the setter so your ball won't go right in front of you) \n\nFor serve receive....Before a game...try to know what types of serves your opponent has. Float serves will tend to change direction at the last second, so be ready to move your feet. For top spin, getting to the right place is half the battle. Then just stick out your hands and angle to the target. (might require slight movement of the platform) For jump serve, it is likedigging, stick tyour hands out and angle because it is coming hard. \n\nFor passing...stay low (Good tip someone told me: if you can touch the ground without having to really extend your arm...you are low enough.) Also, have your feet spread out a little more than shoulder's length so you can move quickly and not easily fall over. IF you are over-passing, take a little off and aim behind to the ten foot line and maybe then the pass will land past what you aimed for and to the correct  spot.

Tennis: you stand behind the back line, you throw the ball in the air, and you hit it (normally over your head) toward the other side of the net. The ball must fall short of the service line on the diagonal side (right to left or left to right).  \n\nBadminton:  you stand behind the service line, and you let go of the shuttle, you must hit it below your waistline and direct it over the net.  The shuttle must land behind the service line on the diagonal side  (right to left or left to right).  \n\nProvided that you respect those rules it's possible to vary the way you serve up to a certain point.  Badminton serves vary much more than tennis serves.  In tennis you can add effect to the ball, while in badminton the way you hold your raquet can vary as the region you hit your bird to.

All the above answers are good advise, but I don't think they are going to stop you from slicing.\nAim, swing speed and tempo are a must for a good shot, but for a quick fix (not one that solves the reason your slicing), try rolling you top hand over the bottom one a little more (it's called tightening your grip), and move your back foot back a little. The more you tighten and bring the foot back, the more the ball should go left (or in your case straighter).

Shot putts to make sure you accelarte as you hit the ball, set the putter about an 1/2 inch behind the ball.  The trick is to think you have cheated yourself on the back swing so you have to make sure you accelarte the stroke.  That is OK came form the pro at Doral.

I "snap" my wrist on my serve as I pronate to create a heavier downward angle after the ball passes the net.  This is fairly common with anyone that has learned how to hit a kick serve.  The same goes for overheads when I am well balanced.  My wrist on my backhand side remains fairly stable through the stroke.  I will occasionally snap my wrist on the forehand side if I need some sharp action on the ball for an acute angle.  I probably do it too often against really fast tournament players because they are always trying to make you hit an extra ball.

You can try giving the ball a slight kick with your wrist as your hitting it. For me, this made my serve drop faster. And I'd alternate with a serve with no wrist which would float more. Not necessary very powerful, but hard to handle.

This is an easy trick to add power to your serve: start with your feet.\n\nInstead of trying to *arm* it over, use the momentuem of your entire body. Even if you are a biddy 90 lbs, if you use not just your arm, but all 90 lbs., you'll send the ball flying.\n\nHere how...\n\nBefore you toss the ball to serve, if you are a righty, start with you left front in front of you, and most of your weight on your back foot, which will be, of course, your right foot. (Unless you are a three footed freak, in which case this technique will not work.) If you are a lefty, of course, vice-versa.\n\nAfter you toss the ball, and you start to strike it, you should simultaneously push-off your back (right) foot, and "step through" your serve. If you step through your serve, you will get the momentum of your entire body behind the serve. After you contact the ball, and follow-through, you should continue with the step and finish with your right foot in front of your left. (If you are a lefty, of course, vice-versa.)\n\nThis push off of your back foot, will force your hips to rotate, which will force your shoulders to rotate, which will force your arm to pronate. It is a bio-mechanical chain reaction.\n\nThis motion is exactly how a tennis player servers, and how a baseball pitcher pitchers. Baseball players will tell you: good pitchers use their legs. Visualize a pitcher's wind-up. Basically, he is starting with his weight on his right foot, and "stepping through" the pitch. In volleyball, you do not need such an over-emphasized wind-up, but the concept is the same.\n\nFeel free to follow-up if you have any more questions.
