Strokes – The Slice Approach Is A Valuable Tool

Posted on August 9, 2010 by Tom Avery

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.

Testimonials

"Any player out there who has been desiring more depth, but has been frustrated by seeing their whipped ground strokes regularly falling short into their opponent's court, should give the Avery M3 Control racquets a try. The increased heft of the 12.2 ounce Avery racquet, the weight of which you can adjust to your precise liking with a little lead tape, adds an extra two to three feet on your groundies for the same amount of effort. For those players who play a lot of doubles or like to volley in singles, the Avery M3 Control's solid feel on contact results in penetrating volleys and the frame's relative flexibility compared to stiffer racquets provides feel and touch. The headlight balance allows for maneuverability. The frame's heft and stable crossbar design in the throat area result in the incoming ball regularly getting the worse end of the collision; not your racquet face or arm joints. Take an Avery M3 Control out for a spin! You'll like what you experience."
