Tennis Slice Serve Analyzed In Slow Motion

The above tennis slice serve technique was analyzed in slow motion thanks to 240 frames per second camera capture of the Ipad Pro. https://www.feeltennis.net/slice-serv...

You'll see the slice serve compared to the flat serve from 4 different angles in order to see how small the actual difference is between these two types of serves.

I've also included a slice vs topspin serve comparison clip towards the end of the video and special overlay feature of the OnForm video analysis app which allows you to see two different strokes at the same time overlaid one over another.

As you will see in the slow motion analysis of the slice serve above the main difference to the flat serve is a just a slight racket angle at contact.

The difference to the topspin serve is much more significant as the ball toss and placement in space is very different.
