1. how tight is the right thumb squeezing the brace on the slide. For beginners, and even older players, that squeezing is so tight that the end of the thumb turns white because of lack of blood flow to the thumb.
2 the condition of the slide? Are there dents. Is there a lack of slide cream or too much slide cream?
Both of these things have an impact on slurring well.
