Forehand Slice Animation

Postby Nicky Gi. » 31 May 2026, 11:30

Hello Manu,

I decided to start a career with my own created player instead of using an existing star, and I noticed that my player uses the game's default forehand slice animation rather than the higher quality forehand slice animation that players in the XKT Patch use.

The default animation looks noticeably less polished and clunky, and there doesn't seem to be any way to change it. No matter which forehand animation I select for my player, the forehand slice animation always remains the default one.

Is there any way to assign the XKT forehand slice animation to my created player? Perhaps you could add an option in the character sheet that allows players to choose a specific forehand slice animation, just like they can choose other stroke animations.

Another possibility would be to improve the default forehand slice animation or replace it entirely with the higher quality version used in the XKT Patch. Personally, I think the XKT animation looks much better.

Thanks! :)
Nicky Gi.

You can copy the outfit code of an xkt mod player that has the forehand slice you like, then copy into your career player and edit the rest of the animations and outfit

Nicky Gi.,
what Jira said, or : World Tour -> Character Sheet -> Settings -> Misc Options -> Hidden Options -> WorldTour_p1 / AnimSliceFH => 04 or 29 instead of 01. (I didn't test, but I think it should work :fear: )

Thanks it worked. Why don’t you make 04 the default one then?

Oh, I didn't know about that different FH slice animation. I've been playing with a created player for so long, that I didn't notice it was different for some KXT players. I just applied the change for my created character and that 04 animation is awesome. The fh drop shot looks awesome now.

Is it possible to customize player gestures through Hidden Options? For instance, could the racket smash animation be assigned to one of the gesture slots?

Nicky Gi.,
because technically it looks more like a drop shot than a FH slice, and as a FH slice it's kinda weird.

Its_Rafa ,
you should be able to use : WorldTour_p1 / AnimRagingFist => 01 / 04 / 14 .

Alternatively, you could use the Outfit code : topic60-38057.php .

I don’t think it looks like a drop shot animation. It’s definitely much better than the default one.

The default animation looks very weird and clunky. In my opinion, it’s the weakest animation in the game. It looks robotic and not natural.
