Strokes – The Slice Approach Is A Valuable Tool

If you’re a doubles player, net rusher or an all-court singles player you will definitely want to own a solid slice approach off both wings.  As a matter of fact, any player can benefit by owning this shot.  Doubles players, net rushers and all-courters know how important it is to get to the net, especially behind a nice low, skidding, slice approach.  You’re opponent is forced to ‘hit up’ giving you and your partner some easy volleys.  Also, many players today are using semi-western and full western grips which are not the best suited for low skidding balls.  Even players who rarely venture to the net can benefit by improving this shot and surprising their opponent.
