Roger Federer’s slice “cut down” follow-through is something a lot of tennis players want to copy. In this tennis training video, Coach Mauro reveals WHY Fed hits a large number of his slice backhands with a “cut down” follow-through, and also why you may – or may not – want to use this technique yourself!

Mauro takes the on-court classroom to a whole new level. He explains the fundamentals and swing mechanics in a concise, easy-to-understand manner...I can't say enough great things about Mauro's teaching. With his extensive background, teaching both the weekend warrior and the world-class junior, Mauro consistently gets results!

Mauro’s method of teaching with analogies is so effective that I feel like light bulbs are lighting up all around me throughout our lessons. He makes so much sense!! That, coupled with his enthusiasm for seeing me improve, makes him an instructor like no other! My kids (ages 7 & 9) have also taken lessons from Mauro and his teaching approach is just as effective with kids.

This really helped a lot!
I’d been chopping down way too much.
While playing last night I kept in mind to swing through as you’ve described and not only made every shot but kept the ball low.
Thanks so much, really enjoy your lessons!
