The generic term "slice" in English can mean one of 2 things: 1) the actual stroke which causes the ball to turn sideways 2) the type of ball that comes off the strings of someone making such a stroke. Moreover, many purists instructors feel that one should maintain a nuance between a slice, a chip and a chop. Nonetheless, the French equivalent for the English word "slice" ranges from "slice" (anglicisme accepté) to "chop". Note also that the French use the term "slice" to denote a particular type of serve. Compare the term "slice" with "topspin shot", "sidespin". 2, record 1, English, - slice

Dans certains textes, l'anglicisme «slice» désigne un effet qui fait tourner la balle vers l'arrière (=backspin), en sens contraire de sa trajectoire, mais en réalité le «slice» est un coup qui imprime à la balle une rotation à la fois latérale et arrière. Selon certains experts, il y a une nuance entre «coupé», «slicé» et «chopé» en fonction de l'angle à laquelle la raquette fait contact avec la balle; étudiez la phrase suivante : il faut initier les élèves au contrôle du «chop» sur balle haute, de la «slice» sur balle moyenne, et de l'effet latéral sur balle basse si on veut les aider à s'adapter aux différents niveaux de frappe et produire des trajectoires de balles efficaces [Louis Cayer]. Le terme connexe «effet rétro» (=slice with excessive underspin) ne désigne qu'une certaine rotation de la balle. 4, record 1, French, - coup%20coup%C3%A9
