Tennis is a game that is easy to pick up and infinitely hard to master.
Among its subtleties are shots that can confound an opponent merely because of their variety. Indeed, a mixed repertoire of shots is essential to good tennis playing. Of all the shots in tennis, the slice backhand is one of the most useful. It is a shot that is easily disguised and executed, and that can be extremely well placed and extremely difficult to return. The optimal time to attempt a slice backhand is when you are returning a ball that is high and to your backhand.
