Ask any tennis enthusiast and they will tell you tennis is the best way to overcome a hard day at the office. It is better than a visit the health club. Tennis is the best sport for a well-rounded workout. It works the arms, legs, glutei, back muscles and other parts of the body. Tennis encompasses both cardiovascular training with a little resistance training. But all exercise aside, there are techniques to amp up your game and take it to the next level.

Backspins, slices and under spin shots are one in the same. The tennis maneuver is effective because narrows the field of the balls low over the net and then it bounces so low making it hard for an opponent to return it. The technique forces the opponent to hit the ball in an upward swing.

The best time to deploy the slice technique is to create the opportunity for your opponent to return a defensive lob or groundstroke so you can retaliate with an non-returnable drop shot. Here’s how to incorporate a slice, backspin or under spin to your game:

1. Grasp the racquet using a continental grip because it enables you to get underneath the ball easier.
2. Keep the tennis racquet up high
3. Next sway down at the ball moving the racquet from a high to low position as if your were peeling the underside of an orange with your racquet
4. Complete the swing out in front, high, above your waistline.

Slices can be used for your defensive shots as a 'chip shot. These maneuvers are excellent for net rushers because the ball will drop at your opponent’s feet. Once you perfect your backspin or slice, the tennis game technique can be used for both your offense and defense shots.
