GRIP IT: Fixing your backhand slice

When your backhand slice keeps popping up, try looking to make a slight change to your grip first. You need a softer wrist placed more on top of the racquet than behind it so the swing path of the racquet is parallel to the ground. The goal is to have a steady, balanced swing that doesn't look like you're chopping logs.
