"Try to hit shots in your Power Zone"

Your power zone for your forehand and backhand is between your knees and chest, approximately two feet away from your body.  Hitting balls in this zone will allow you to add the most control, spin and power.  During a match the main reason that you will hit balls in your power zone will be your footwork. Through footwork (making split-steps, taking little steps and a quick recovery) you can change different types of balls (high, low and wide) to shots that you will hit in your power zone.  Keep your feet moving and consistently hit balls in this zone to turn the power on.
