Slice Serve Out Wide Deuce Court from 12 o'clock toss location with Platform Serve Stance

[asifallasleep]

I almost exclusively kick and hit flat to the deuce court or occasionally slice down the middle on the deuce court. I have the worst time consistently slicing out wide. I toss the ball mainly from 11 for kick and 12 for flat or slice. Tossing more to the right say 1 o'clock feels insanely foreign to me. I have a platform stance. Is it possible to slice out wide from a toss at 12 o'clock? I typically make contact on the face of the ball at 1 o'clock for my slices at a 12 o'clock toss location. I've seen videos where the servers are almost side arming the ball from a far right toss location with insane spin. I don't want this. With the 12 o'clock toss location should I be swing more of a left to right motion along the back of the ball versus my typical 1 o'clock contact point? Also, I'm guessing I could slightly adjust my stance so I don't have to swing around my body so much to get the ball so far left. Thanks everyone.

Toss the ball further into the court and hit the right side of it.

If you can slice DTM from the deuce side from that toss, it shouldn’t be less comfortable to slice wide, in my opinion.
- Open up towards the net a bit more;
- Swing almost straight towards the opposite side, not left-to-right;
- Attack the ball edge-on, make contact before your racquet has flattened out towards the ball.

You can also try going from what you are proficient with: slice serves DTM. Visualize a window over the net you hit it through. Then visualize a window you need to hit to land the ball wide with same type of serve. Then try to make the ball go through that window - let your body and mind figure out how to achieve it.

Can you hit your flat serve out wide with the 12'0Clock toss? If so you can do the same with a slice serve. The guys tossing out it way out the right are going for the slow - super spinny slice serve. Which IMHO is less effective then the hard slice serve that is just like a flat serve but with some additional curve. But if you want the slow super spin kind - toss way out right is easy way to do it.
