I flat with my my 11-year-old nephew. Neither of us have had any training. If I try, I can still beat him in games all of the time, but he figured out some slice shot that I can't return over the net. If this becomes a high-percentage stoke for him, I'm doomed! I'm hoping that some strong player can give me some beginner advice.
I'm not going to post any videos, but think I can explain what he does reasonably well: He'll hold the racket head high at around a 45 degree angle and hit the ball as he slices down. This comes back at me differently, and when I try to hit it back, it usually lands low in the net. What do I need to do to return the ball? What kind of spin is this?
