Backhand slice hack revealed!

[@conman1395]

Force = Mass*Acceleration. If you move your arm faster, the percent increase in acceleration is going to be much less than just involving your body weight. You could be adding 4-5x more mass by adding bodyweight and pushing with your legs. But accelerating your arm 4-5x faster will result in a lost arm.

[@lewisreid7921]

This is more about force vectors. The arm action is slicing downwards to create spin on the ball, transferring your body weight forward is what provides the force vector in the direction of the net. The reason he’s getting him to slow his movement down is because the spin is generated during the follow through, after the racket has first made contact with the ball. Slicing first means you just hit the ball into the ground as he was doing. This also applies to topspin shot but with topspin it is much more intuitive.

[@tommycrowley8668]

I love slicing on the backhand side as much as the next guy, but if you really want to get to the next level, you should be hitting through the ball on your backhand. The slice starts to get exposed at higher levels

[@julianyeh3522]

[@mihailupascu7227]

"Now drink this shake, it's only vitamins,... i swear!"

[@jinma1978]

It’s still too fast, you can go much slow and still hit a great slice. I also think that the kid is hitting it too thin.

[@jibibabu9179]

Patrick, I have a different opinion on why his slice was bad, he was planting his front foot much earlier before the shot, and hence not getting the timing correct, the correct technique would be to plant the foot just before striking the ball

[@FoobsTon]

I'm no tennis genius but i think the slice was the only shot that was obvious to me.

[@JEM-fo6rs]

Ah man I’m on it. Seen this shot a million times. But, Coaches simple explanation help me out.

[@nandrew111]

Love that he identified his player’s natural preference and made sure that it became a strength

[@ha-kx9we]

I mean he just corrected how the guy plays

[@camsellars]

@@ha-kx9wesuper necessary comment man.

[@DonJohnson791]

@@ha-kx9wewhat the guy meant is that he corrected the slice rather than advising against a slice. For average players slicing isn’t a great idea and most coaches will make you drop it and do the typical 2 handed backhand every time, whereas this coached saw he liked to slice and just helped him improve that. What kind of coach would you expect to not coach you on anything? Bit of a brainrot comment tbf

[@stevenguo3870]

​@@ha-kx9weI think u gotta give the coach extra credit for his care and attentiveness in his craft. There are some coaches who would tell u not to do something because it does not work for them. Those individuals are not true masters of that craft

Well, that's what kids are able to do by default. Try that with a late beginner, you will bite your racquet in the process.

[@Creees]

im not so sure of him as a coach on the spot. its obvious his grip is the worst part. even with the super jolty swing with the correct or at least a better grip would still work

@@Creeesoftentimes when teaching novices a skill, you can only really focus on one-two things at a time. Throwing too many variables at the same time overwhelms is not as effective, because the student is given too much at once

I am 100% sure that the boy was asked to act like he can not do a proper slicing contact. His attempt to perform a mistake is so obvious.

[@alessandrotommasi9941]

Probably, as he seems to have a different grip for the 'working' slices, but the technique tips are valid.

My son has the same problem with his backhand slice. Ty for this video

[@Oephorie]

En français Patrick !!

[@wanzacharywanisa5762]

Again with the great little actors 😂

[@AsXGonza]

Great tip, I would have started changing the grip though. The main reason why he was framing so much was the eastern forehand grip used for the slice rather than continental. With that change plus the body movement / slow speed would have been a killer combo

[@royswirsky673]

His contact point needs to be closer to enable him to put his weight on the ball…

[@TheWinezen]

Great teaching technique Patrick. I always tell my students to use more body weight but your teaching method is just so on point

I’m a right-handed highschool player, and for some reason, I can hit a beautiful backhand slice but can’t hit a forehand to save my life 😭

[@cesarfernandezlopez5063]

[@patrickmouratoglou_official]

What are the key components of a successful backhand slice technique?

[@nekobx2094]

Patrick I think it is the body as you mentioned and the shoulder. The bigger muscles.

[@djaziztube]

I think most important is to hit it in front of your body, which goes along with the bodyweight moving forward. I like to use the same eastern backhand grip that I use for my one hander as I feel my wrist can be in control out in front of my body more with the eastern grip. Also for a penetrating slice, a lot of wrist movement isn't really needed. An open racket face and body weight does the trick.

[@maxiv8744]

​@@djaziztubeNot body weight! Body movement! That will be right 😊

[@maxiv8744]

Three main components: the trajectory of the racket (horizontal and vertical), the angle of the racket, the speed of the racket (this is, of course, influenced by the degree of use of the wrist). Moving the body forward could mean, first of all, moving the shoulder region forward as a fulcrum for the arm. Consequently, the horizontal trajectory of the racket, moving along a much larger radius, would become similar to a straight line in the contact zone with the ball, which would contribute to a much more efficient transfer of energy from the racket to the ball. But practice shows that the movement of the body at a certain moment, before the movement of the hand begins, stops and only one hand remains moving. True, its movement occurs not from the shoulder joint, but from the scapula.
