Book your tennis coach in Bentleigh East

Tennis revolves around four essential strokes that every player must develop.

• Your forehand stroke acts as your go-to power stroke on your dominant side. You swing the racquet across your body with topspin for control and pace.
• The backhand shot can be hit with one hand or two hands, depending on your preference and strength. The two-handed grip gives beginners extra control and consistency, though one hand adds range.
• The service motion begins every exchange as your sole uncontested stroke. You throw the ball up, then swing overhead to deliver pace and precision.
• The volley requires compact technique at the net, hitting before the bounce. You keep the swing short and drive through with a stable wrist.

Once you control these techniques, you can handle any match situation.

Isolate each stroke initially, then integrate them as you progress.

One-on-one tennis coaching in Bentleigh East generally runs about $100/h.

This cost differs depending on several factors:

• Your skill level (starting out, casual player, or tournament standard)
• The coach's experience and qualifications (teaching tenure, competitive history, certification level)
• Class length and how often you train (short intensive sessions or longer practice periods)
• The coaching structure (one-on-one private lessons, semi-private with a partner, or group classes)

Booking packages often lowers the per-session rate significantly.
Squad sessions deliver excellent value without the premium of one-on-one attention.
Most teachers give a sample session to ensure the right fit.

Your grip determines how the racquet face meets the ball and directly influences spin, power, and control.

Three primary grips form the foundation of modern tennis technique:

• Eastern forehand hold is ideal for beginners because it allows flat, powerful shots with natural wrist position. Imagine gripping the racquet like a handshake, your knuckle landing on the third panel.
• The Continental grip serves as the all-purpose grip for serves, volleys, and defensive slices. Place your knuckle on the top ridge for an angled racquet position.
• Semi-Western hold fuels modern power tennis with extreme spin production. Your base knuckle moves to the fourth bevel (bottom right for right-handers), allowing you to brush up the back of the ball aggressively.

Start with Eastern for forehands and Continental for serves, adjusting later as your style emerges.

Use the bevel numbering system to consistently place your hand for every shot type.
