Players start the drill by rallying cross-court from the backhand corners.
Player 1 can choose to slice a backhand down the line at any time and the point is then live. Player 1 can choose to hit the slice as an approach, or simply as a change of direction/pace in the rally.
Players can play first to 7 points before player 2 has a turn at being the slicing player.
If a mistake is made before the slice has been hit, it is not counted and the score remains the same.
Players can find the slice down the line a difficult shot to play, particularly if they are used to using 2 hands on their backhand. They should be reminded to turn their shoulders well and follow the line of the ball with their feet and body.
Players should make sure that they are in a good position to play the down the line shot, and be aware that in doing so they will be changing the pace, spin, direction, and flight path of the ball.
Take care on it!
