As a tennis player develops their game and learns the various spins they can put on shots, they will be able to refine their tactical approach to matches. Most players hit the ball with little to no spin as they learn the basics of the sport. These shots are referred to as “flat” shots a powerful tool in a player’s arsenal, despite the underwhelming name. Flat shots, however, offer a high-risk, high-reward game. While they are ideal for bullying an opponent or striking a winning shot, they should be complemented by various spin shots.
By applying top spin to a shot, tennis players can create a high arc on a ball, allowing it to dip down dramatically at the end of its trajectory. This helps players to be aggressive and give themselves plenty of margin for error at the baseline and sidelines while easily passing the ball over the net. In fact, the same high arc that provides added net clearance results in a high bouncing shot that can be difficult for opponents to deal with, especially over the course of a long match.
Slice shots, on the other hand, typically function as a defensive maneuver, with both back spin and side spin making it difficult to hit a slice shot beyond the boundaries of the court. However, this also makes a poorly hit slice shot easy for opponent to attack. Generally, slice shots should be used to buy time, regain positioning, or change the flow in the middle of a long rally.
