Anger blocks concentration, tactics and technique. Your temper can hurt you and you may despise yourself afterward for being so destructive.]]></description>

A good slice will also cause the ball to skid and bounce low, making it more difficult for your opponent to return the shot. Some players like to utilize the slice in a rally to disrupt the rhythm of the opponent and force him or her to hit a short ball or commit an unforced error. This technique can also be an incredible tool for defense because you can get sufficient time to get out of trouble and get in good position for the next shot.]]></description>
