Book your tennis coach in Coorparoo

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

• Your forehand stroke acts as your go-to power stroke on your dominant side. You brush up on the ball while swinging through for spin and depth.
• The backhand comes in single-handed or double-handed variations. The two-handed grip gives beginners extra control and consistency, though one hand adds range.
• The service motion starts every point and is the only shot you control completely. You toss the ball above your head, then strike it with an overhead motion combining power and placement.
• Your volley technique demands quick reactions at net, striking mid-flight. You use minimal backswing and punch through the ball with a firm wrist.

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

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

The average cost of an hour of tennis coaching in Coorparoo is approximately $65/h.

This cost differs depending on several factors:

• Your current ability (beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• The teacher's background and certifications (teaching tenure, competitive history, certification level)
• Class length and how often you train (30-minute, 60-minute, or 90-minute sessions)
• The format (individual coaching, shared sessions, or squad training)

Package deals can make regular coaching more affordable in the long run.
Group classes deliver excellent value without the premium of one-on-one attention.
Most instructors offer a complimentary first session so you can assess their teaching style and compatibility before committing.

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

Three primary grips form the foundation of modern tennis technique:

• Eastern forehand hold works well for starters, delivering pace with minimal wrist adjustment. Place your palm flat against the strings, then slide down to the handle—your base knuckle sits on the third bevel (right side for right-handers).
• The Continental style serves as the all-purpose grip for serves, volleys, and defensive slices. Place your knuckle on the top ridge for an angled racquet position.
• The Semi-Western grip is popular among modern players for generating heavy topspin on forehands. Shift your knuckle to bevel four to enable steep upward brushing action.

Build your foundation with Eastern groundstrokes and Continental serves before exploring variations.

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.
