135 is a revolutionary way of profiling a player’s matchplay performance at a point in time, then measuring their improvement every 3 months through a process of reporting and consulting through their coach.
A 135 profile is how a player executes their game using three main metrics:
- 135 or Serve Profile – the first 3 shots played by a server in a rally (shot 1, shot 3 and shot 5).
- 246 or Return Profile – the first 3 shots played by the returner in a rally (shot 2, shot 4 and shot 6)
- 7+ or Long Rally Profile – usually by shot 7, the server’s advantage is over, after which player’s use their 7+ profile.
An aspiring player needs to develop all three profiles to be successful.
Combine a process of profiling, benchmarking and measuring with 135’s cutting edge tech (135 Camera, 135 App and 135 Analyzer) plus education to support the process, and you have systems that greatly enhance player development through their coach at every stage.

FAQ
A consult is 135 talking through the results of match analysis with the player. Parents are encouraged to attend, particularly in the early stages.
Your player’s coach will usually attend their first consult, but after that there’s no need as everything we discuss with the player is in the report and progress video.
Consults are not just about pointing out strengths and weaknesses. It’s about the main areas of improvement that a player will need to address in training to win more matches over time, and providing them with the confidence that they can!
A Progress Video is no longer than 5 minutes. Your 135 Analyst will run through a screen recording to which your player and their coach can refer at their next lesson and beyond.
Customised reports contain snapshots of data generated by 135 Analysts to illustrate a player’s progress. Much like a school report, 135 reports contain notes about the different outcomes the player is trying to achieve based on their match play analysis.
Film everything, but don’t upload all matches.
As an example, Gold players should be uploading 2 wins and 2 losses as part of their quarterly reporting.
There shouldn’t be any “blow-out” scores (either wins or losses) like 61 61. 3-set matches are not necessarily what you should be uploading either. Data from a 64 64 win or loss will tell us more about how players are going than a 76 67 76 win or loss.
The best matches to upload contain set scores of 62, 63, 64, 75 and 76. Wins and losses!
