Tennis instruction: This is an example of the classic tennis backhand slice from start to finish.

Simplicity and effectiveness go hand in hand.

Sergio Cruz demonstrates that you do not have to be the best player in the world to play a clean shot and he also proves that a good foundation of your game will not fall appart in time.

Elements of a solid backhand slice.

1. Continental, "chopper grip".

2. Take a short backswing with good shoulder turn.

3. Target ball by looking over your sholder.

4. Step in by firmily planting your right foot forward.

5. Take a high to low forward swing with a chopping motion that strikes the ball with the racket head on a 45 degree angle.

6. Without trying to force the backspin, just let the racket naturally flow to the full extention of your arm until it is level with or shoulder.



Sergio Cruz has a natural classic swing that easily adapts to any modern tenis stroke situation, of course you rather look at the likes of Pete Sampras, Roger Federer or others, but a quality stroke is a good tennis video lesson no matter who produces it.

On the lighter side, Sergio proves that it is possible to walk, hit a world class backhand slice and chew bubble gum at the same time!
