Understanding the Slice - Serving and Returning

The Slice serve is called just that because of what it does - it 'slices' away from you as it hits the ground. The reason for this is because of the sideways spin dynamic on the ball. This is very basic. The sideways spin on the ball is caused by the string bed on the face of the tennis racket hitting the tennis ball slightly to the right of center relative to the front of the ball, and hitting it from a horizontal bias

Simple Spin: A Second Serve Necessity
- Article
- December 16, 2008
- No comments
Second serves are not just a backup for a missed first serve. A player’s second serve should be a different shot altogether. For first serves, ATP pro tour players generally use a flat serve with little spin; for the second serve, the same players use either slice or topspin. Competitive and recreational players should use the same format when hitting their first and second serve.

Upgrade Your Second Serve Spin
- Article
- December 16, 2008

There are two types of spin to add to your second serve. The first is slice (learn more here); the second is topspin. Slice causes the ball to hit the ground, stay low, and curve (kick) to the left. Topspin serves tend to hit the ground, bounce high, and kick to the right (opposite for lefty players).
