Great video Jorge! Most of the people play in the zone 2 or 3 with more power but they don’t think to use the zone 1 or 4 because the though is “if I play short my opponent attacks me”. I share on my blog!
I really liked the video. I am a USPTA certified pro in NC. We met a few years ago at the USTA Tennis Teachers Conference in NYC. The feedback I have is that today in one of my clinics I used a similar system to your 4 square system and my players said “if I try to alternate my shots deep and short then as soon as my opponent gets a short ball won”t they just always come in within singles” What advice do you have for me to help my players understand the importance of variation in depth within singles?
Hi Chris, I would tell them that they might come in to the net but 90% of players play better from the BASELINE so it might not be such a bad thing to have them come to the net. I would agree that if the opponent you’re playing is relaly god at the net then you should limit the number of times you intentionally hit to the short target areas. Thanks Jorge
Dear Jorge,
Thanks for outstanding job you doing, I really enjoy it and learn a lot.
Occasionally, I love charting my players match performance to give them constructive feedback.
I also chart pro players matches and came-up with theory of 3/4 vs. 1/4. I’ll be very happy to share
with you. Last February I was at HHI PTR symposium, I spoke to Carly just to introduce my self and to say thanks for the great job you all doing. Currently, I look forward to hear from you.

This video depicts a practical approach for simply dividing the court to encourage students to aim for targeted areas, rather than telling them to hit over the net. They’ll establish patterns to hit the ball in a certain direction.

Thank you these short videos are great help.
I like the zones and the 4 square numbers, to tea ch beginners to advance players of all ages,
to think and direct the ball to the intended target areas.
Do u think it will help in doubles play as much it does in singles? thank you

I love the two different zone systems you have for this video. I will use these drills & ideas with my staff & clients. Thank you Jorge

Always great teaching and instructions! Thanks for your contribution to the tennis community!

Hi Pattu, I will try to put out something similar for Doubles.
I really like this numbering system and will use it with my late beginner adults to get them thinking more and placing balls better with intention.
