SLICED BACKHAND [1 record]

Record 1 2011-03-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Racquet Sports
CONT

The sliced return on the backhand is more easy to master than the top-spin so first concentrate on returning a sliced backhand to all corners of the court from all positions on your side of the net.

PHR

Deadly, effective, wicked backhand slice.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sports de raquette
CONT

Lorsque le revers slicé est exécuté à partir de la ligne de fond, l'effet slicé «soulève» la balle et lui permet de passer au-dessus du filet.

OBS

En France et ailleurs, l'usage des anglicismes dans le monde du tennis, par exemple «revers slicé» est toléré, à en juger par les multiples exemples retrouvés dans la presse française. Au Canada, on évite les anglicismes à tout prix.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)

DEF

Golpe con efecto de rotación hacia atrás. Se ejecuta colocando la pelota de arriba abajo por su parte posterior. Ideal para intercambio de golpes desde el fondo de la pista y subidas a la red. No se suele utilizar para el passing-shot por su extremada lentitud.
