Book your tennis coach in Carlton North

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. The motion sweeps across your body, generating spin and power.
• The backhand shot can be hit with one hand or two hands, depending on your preference and strength. Double-handed technique suits learners seeking stability, whereas single-handed extends your reach.
• The service motion starts every point and is the only shot you control completely. 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 use minimal backswing and punch through the ball with a firm wrist.

These fundamentals unlock every aspect of competitive tennis play.

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

One-on-one tennis coaching in Carlton North generally runs about $70/h.

This cost differs depending on several factors:

• The player's standard (starting out, casual player, or tournament standard)
• The coach's experience and qualifications (time in the sport, tournament pedigree, official qualifications)
• Class length and how often you train (30-minute, 60-minute, or 90-minute sessions)
• The coaching structure (one-on-one private lessons, semi-private with a partner, or group classes)

Purchasing lesson blocks often lowers the per-session rate significantly.
Group formats cost less than private coaching while maintaining high teaching standards.
Initial consultations are often free, letting you test the coaching relationship.

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 suits learners by enabling powerful, flat strokes with comfortable wrist alignment. Imagine gripping the racquet like a handshake, your knuckle landing on the third panel.
• The Continental grip acts as your go-to for serving, net play, and underspin shots. Place your knuckle on the top ridge for an angled racquet position.
• The Semi-Western grip 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.

To find the correct grip, identify the eight bevels (flat panels) around your racquet handle and position your base knuckle accordingly—this reference system works for all grips.
