Roger Federer - Slice Backhand Close Up

[y11971alex]

The continental (all-purpose) grip produce, in my opinion, the most beautiful strokes on the backhand.

there is three things you need to do to have a slice like federer.

1) have a eastern forehand

2) you have to slice in moderation meaning you can't just chop it down like crazy

3) you have to tip toe when slicing. What that does is making sure you don't chop down.

@wind1357 Actually, thats not true. Three things you need to do to have a Federer BH slice.

1. Find a magic lamp.

2. Rub the lamp.

3. Ask the genie to give you the Federer slice.

oh its a slice T.T i thought it was a drop shot T,T

[naikahnomtom]

you guys! try extreme forehand grip for your backhand drop shot, it works for me.

[andydufresne87]

this was a drop shot

[naikahnomtom]

forehand grip on the drop shot

[Rukhman]

@naikahnomtom its the continental grip man

[naikahnomtom]

yea dude! sorry didnt know the name of the grip.

[HuangdoodleIII]

it's really interesting how he drops his wrist, unlike most textbook slice backhands. Much harder to execute with his 90 sq inch frame, but then again if you can pull it off, that's gold.

[lemospes]

I can't understand what means close up on tennis, can anybody explain? =)

[txchou]

The camera is taking a close up view of Federer. It has nothing to do with tennis. Sorry if that was confusing.

I put it in the heading because lots of people complained about not being able to see parts of the player's body; now I just ignore those comments.

[LeonardoTorino]

@txchou this video is confusing everybody...

[Siphodias92]

can't see the follow through -.-'

[nelsonguise]

Oooh! He almost sliced it on the half volley! C'mon Rog, we're scoring on difficulty AND execution here, you nub!

[77linkinpark77]

[game190294]

[164jlg]

i wish i could hit a backhand slice like roger...

[abcxfds]

the most graceful shot in tennis

[burn256]

the most elegant shot in tennis

[RoFLoLmAoMgZoR]

quite possibly one of the most beautiful shots in all of tennis

[imakerune4]

thats a smooth slow motion video

[txchou]

The video is just cut off at the start.

[vincentbadminton]

thats looks more like a drop shot o.O :S

[reefric]

you maybe right..he doesn´t bring the raquet behind his head like he usually does for slicing..

[baritono81]

Dunno if drop shot or deep chip shot, but it proly landed where he aimed, notice how he hits it dead on the sweet spot. Federer has such great accuracy with his slice. Awesome video, thanks for sharing!!
