I really don´t know how to do it, although i accidentally make it sometimes. When it happens against you, just start to cry...

You lose any chance to attack in the 3rd ball.

Yeah i do it sometimes by mistake on WT, nowadays on ITST matches im just returning with A so that wont happen.

is it possible for the staff to give us a clear rule about FH power slice or power slice in general for the regular tour please?

is it ok to use it in a defensive position when you run after the ball?

is it cheesy to use it when the rally is stable and nobody has the advantage? for example a short power slice to force the opponent in the court or a very long one on the baseline.

is it cheesy to use it 3/4 times in a row to generate a timing error and get a weak ball to attak?

is it cheesy to use it for an obvious winner attempt?

[jayl0ve]

Wow we do not need this many criteria for selecting a shot, t his is getting pretty weird

[I_Zooloo_I]

well i see ppl using it alot so i d like to know when i should be upset or not.

Seeing that you're talking about the regular tour, all the above is allowed.

really? i ve read so many posts saying it s unrealistic or cheesy

[Rob ITST]

A lot of people consider it cheesy to abuse the slice, but it's not something we're going to make a big deal about on the regular tour.

If you've ever seen a real tennis match, you know the slice is flawed in most tennis games - if you really want to be fair, and have a reputation as a fair player, then don't abuse the flaws.

Ok, i know forehand slice is prohibited in the SIM tour, but i just watched Del Potro against Simon, and in a number of occasions Simon did forehand slice once, twice, sometimes maybe three times a point(even when he was on a good position to try a flat or top spin shot).

Just saying that pros also do it especially against hard-hiters(sometimes when playing a guy with IR i use slices cause if i dont he´s gonna smoke me with crazy power shots), i dont even do forehand slice, only when im on the run and streching to hit the ball.

[VillaJ100]

See above. Slice is kinda broken on TS4, especially fully charged forehand ones. A precision FH slice on the run will be a kind of desperate squash shot which will make for a easy volley.

[L Sanchez MD]

Interesting actually, because a lot of times when you see someone like Roger miss the squash defensive slice, it's because they're trying to hit it juuust over the net, and then it just goes into the net. They know the shot will be a floater, so if they keep it super low over the net, the volley is actually quite difficult.

Hi im a new member and i have many questions:
What is the return glitch (im french) ?
And if i utilised many times cross court is considered about cheesy or no ?
Thanks a lot.

[I_Zooloo_I]

glitch return is an "evil magic" way to return that forces the server to walk back about 3/5 meters behind the baseline in a very unrealistic way.

short crosscourt is fine. pm me if you need some explanations about the rules in french

[Pyrros-Dimas_85]

its allowed use the glitch return,tremlineserve,and dropshot once time or not?so its possible to use these tatics in a several points?
