The grip should be the eastern backhand, with the wrist slightly cocked. The stance should be sideways to the net with the feet parallel at approximately shoulder width. The swing is diagonal from high to low, ending with the racquet pointing toward the net. The ball should be struck as far in front of you as is comfortable. The angle of the swing varies depending upon the amount of underspin you wish to create. A player such as Don Budge or Ken Rosewall could drive through the ball with slice, penetrate the court, and even, in Rosewall’s case, hit effective passing shots. The most essential element of the stroke is that there is no break in the wrist or forearm at contact. Starting from the cocked position on the backswing, the racquet is thrust forward until the arm is completely straight. http://www.jericho.ca/tennis/The%20Slice%20Backhand.htm
