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". Compare with "topspin shot", "sidespin", "sliced shot" and "chop stroke". 1, record 9, English, - sliced%20ball

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. Étudier 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, entraîneur national du Canada].
