What is your favorite way to use the NVZ in front of your opponents to your advantage?

[salvino]

Great way to conceptualize it ..very true and not on most 3.0-4.0 players radar

[glennshimabuku]

Really liked this video. Many times when I get forced wide I either throw up a lob (over the player across me) or go cross court too high and get pounded. I see what you mean about using the NVZ to get out of trouble temporarily. I'll have to practice it so it becomes more instinctive. Great job of explaining. Maybe some demonstration to visualize would be good.

[jimzimmerman]

Thanks for the video. I understand it. I wish more players did.

[lisamaxwell]

I understand it but I think as a teaching video “you don’t know how” and “you don’t understand” come across as negative. Maybe “let me help you know how to use this zone to your advantage” is better without all the “you don’t” in front of it. This is meant to be constructive criticism. 😀

[donreinholz]

Basicly what your saying too many bangers ignore the soft game even if the opponent is at their base line.

[nancyrussel]

Lots of negativity in the prologue. Hard to remain engaged after hearing “you don’t know”, repeatedly. Content is important but delivery is a downer.
