The foundation of tennis rests on a handful of core techniques.

• The forehand is your primary attacking weapon, hit with 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. Two-handed backhands provide more stability and power for beginners, while one-handed versions offer greater reach.
• The serve initiates each rally and remains entirely in your control. You toss the ball above your head, then strike it with an overhead motion combining power and placement.
• The volley shot is a short, punchy stroke played near the net before the ball bounces. The motion stays compact with a locked wrist and forward punch.

These fundamentals unlock every aspect of competitive tennis play.

Work on one technique at a time before blending them into live points.

The way you hold the racquet shapes every shot you hit.

Tennis uses three fundamental grip types, each suited to different strokes and playing styles:

• The Eastern forehand grip 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 is the universal grip for serves, volleys, and slices because it keeps the racquet face slightly open. Your base knuckle sits on the second bevel (top edge), creating a beveled racquet angle.
• Semi-Western forehand grip is popular among modern players for generating heavy topspin on forehands. Position your knuckle on the lower-right panel for maximum spin potential.

Most coaches recommend beginners start with the Eastern forehand grip for groundstrokes and Continental for serves and volleys, then experiment as they develop.

Locate the bevels on your handle and align your knuckle to the correct panel for each stroke.
