Backhand Slice: Spread the Back Arm Like Wings

Summary

On the backhand slice, Universal Rackets wants the back arm active: push it straight back as if spreading wings so the torso stays sideways and the hitting arm can get under the ball.

A slight backhand grip helps; kneeling slice feeds lock in the sideways posture.

Key takeaways

  • Back arm pushes straight back (wings)
  • Slight BH grip to get under the ball
  • Kneeling feeds keep you sideways
