Record 1 2012-01-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Racquet Sports
DEF

A serve in which the racquet scrapes across the ball from left to right (for a right-handed [player]) and creates sidespin.

CONT

Slice serve. Side spin and topsin are applied to the serve, causing the ball to keep low and change direction after bouncing. For example, slice serves from right-handed players cut sharply away to the left. The serve is particularly well-suited to grass or indoor courts, because these surfaces slow the ball down less than hard courts.

CONT

The sliced serve imparts side spin on the ball, with a touch of top spin, and produces lateral movement in the air and at the bounce ... an effective slice serve will begin on a line straight at the receiver but veer away to his right.

CONT

It is hard to return the slice service, because the ball spins and bounces sidewards in the opponent's court.

PHR

Overhead slice service.

PHR

To cultivate slice service. To deliver a slice service.

PHR

Slice service goes in, goes out.

[El] saque con efecto lateral [...] tiene [la] ventaja que no cansa tanto físicamente como el liftado, por lo que se convierte en una especie de rey de los saques con efecto [...] el saque cortado no es así, sino que se recorta bastante el recorrido final, hacia la izquierda y hacia abajo [...]
