Rotate the reverse way - which is more like trying to break your wrist or arm :) and you will generate backspin.

You need to combine the wrist rotation with a forward “stroke” - so you are hitting the ball and rotating at the same time.

Its quite a wrist-y move and I find that if you try not to hit the ball too hard (very slow and slight forward hitting, much more speed in rotation) then you get great results.

The move seems to work better on forehand than backhand, but it does work on backhand and especially if the ball coming at you is not moving too fast.

You can still angle your return to try and place the ball deep into a corner with the spin taking it even further out to either make the computer miss or provide an easy volley at the net into an open court.

It seems to make a harder return for the computer to hit (generally) - you tend to get the ball back - its more about setting up the next shot -but it comes slowly.

I just can’t find good angles when hitting the ball at the net..The ball just goes straight in the middle of the court

How am I supposed to smash it in the corners ?? What’s the tip, good timing?

Ok, so I know when I played tennis I held the remote however I fancied, don’t. The way you hold the remote is the key to slicing and doing drop shots.
Note: This won’t work very well on computers it doesn’t trick them, but when you have a human opponent they’ll be cursing you for it.

Step 1:
ok, so baisically what you want to do is hold the wii-remote so that the buttons (A, D-pad, -, +, home, 1, and 2) are facing inside you’re palm. You will know they are because the flat side of the remote is facing inwards and you will have the edge (most likely if your hand isn’t huge) in the joints between your fingers and your palm. So, if you manage this awsome here’s step 2

Step 2:
to give the ball a slice spin and cause it to veer to the right then all you need to do is when holding the remote how I explained in step 1 twist your hand (and by doing so the remote) so that the buttons are facing EXACTLY parallel to the ground, if they’re even slighty at a non level angle with the floor it won’t work so make it look like this. This can only be done forehand (check article above so you know what forehand is…. or not…)

Step 3:
to do a slice that veers to the right all you need to do is hold the remote how I told you and when hitting the ball backhand twist it so that the buttons are parallel to the ceiling.

Note: These will take a lot of practice, the best way is to go to training mode when you have to aim at the orange board and hit it with the tennis balls is to just give it as much spin as you can each time untill you have mastered it.

Now, we get to drop shots.

step 1:
Hold the Wii remote the same way I told you above

Step 2:
To do a forehand drop shot instead of twisting the remote so the buttons face the ground twist them so they face the ceiling, it’s a bit odd twisting your hand like that but if you hit it fast and give it a nice forward drop shot spin I guarantee your opponent (human not computer, nothing tricks them…) will curse you to high heavens.

Step 3:
To do a backhand drop shot, well you guessed it, instead of twisting your hand up to slice it, twist it down so that it faces down at the ground.

Note: With backhand to make it face down it causes your hand to kind of push up to twist and it hits the ball upward so it is really ineffective unless you can backhand it with some speed and twist the remote down.

Well, I hope that this makes sense, I know that reading it might confuse you (I tend to write fairly sloppily) but if it does then just keep holding the Wii remote different ways and just twist it, eventually you will find the way to hold it (ahahaha) that is after all how I found out how to give it spin.

Hope this helps, bye.

Also heres a tip: after you get into the hole game, get a point (or let the other team get a point) and in the replay you can do something called “quick serve” Its when you click the A button twice and you just have to swing.
