If you can hit good topspin that's the best way to fight it. You'll get extra topspin since the ball is spinning the same way. Also agree with other commenters on coming to the net if you can, and also bending your knees and staying extra low to hit up on ball.

No there is also the variety that is good at every basic tennis talent (like athletics, visual capabilities, touch, etc) but never learned how to hit a groundstroke and those players are the ones that tend to hit slices like the OP describes.

The advise of coning to the net is too simplistic. Most 3.5-4.0 players are terrible at the net. After missing a couple of volleys or overheads they shy away from coming in. If anything attacking the net will mean a quicker loss.

I believe these are just rebranded Wilson Titanium. These have almost no felt on them and are harder than a rock. You are better off with Penn Championship from Costco or Wilson Championship (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Wilson-Championship-Extra-Duty-XD-Tennis-Ball-20-Can-Pack-60-Balls/55206712)

Don’t retire it. Keep using it if it still works for you. I’m just suggesting another one if you really want to have one that’s in better cosmetic condition. And then use that one as a backup, like when the strings break on the original and you haven’t had time to restring it.

Pretty good technically sound swing I like how you always finish your stroke above your shoulder. You need to load more and drive with your hips watch pros in slow motion right when they start accelerating the right shoulder is leading and the hip follows and the racket is third

Growing up, the wind served as a motivator for me.

Same for a higher bouncing kick serve, flattening out my FH, developing a better sense of when to slice, wh...

The biggest problem is that your entire body is moving to the right while you are serving to the left. As you toss, push your hips in the direction of the shot (it probably means you have to toss further in front). Then keep your right leg behind the left at all times, hope, rotate only the upper body, land on your lef...

You’ve got a good start here and since you say your shoulder is recovering you could focus on your feet for now. Solid base and knee bend - you’re standing almost straight up and with your feet far apart. You’ll get more out of the serve if you do a knee bend that will allow you to jump into the ball more. Also you’l...

Tossing arm needs to stay up longer. Try bringing your left hand to your right hip at the end and finish in an X with your right arm over left. Grip and motion aren't bad especially if you have mobility issues.

Even before that. Right now you bounce the ball, then grab it, and go down with your racket, then up. Instead, when you grab the ball with your left hand, just raise immediately the right hand, so that the hand is above the elbow, and the racket head is above the hand. The elbow itself does not have to be high. And kee...

Not sure I agree with the advice to toss higher. It would be good to hit the ball higher, which might necessitate changing your rhythm and timing a bit. If that requires tossing the ball high, maybe it's worth it. But if you toss higher, the ball will be traveling downward at a faster speed when it enters your hit zone...
