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

• The forehand serves as the main offensive stroke from your dominant side. The motion sweeps across your body, generating spin and power.
• The backhand shot comes in single-handed or double-handed variations. Double-handed technique suits learners seeking stability, whereas single-handed extends your reach.
• Your serve stroke starts every point and is the only shot you control completely. The motion involves an upward toss followed by an overhead strike for power and accuracy.
• The volley requires compact technique at the net, hitting before the bounce. The motion stays compact with a locked wrist and forward punch.

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

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

You can expect to pay roughly $25/h for a tennis lesson in Docklands.

This price fluctuates depending on several factors:

• The player's standard (starting out, casual player, or tournament standard)
• The teacher's background and certifications (time in the sport, tournament pedigree, official qualifications)
• Session length and regularity (30-minute, 60-minute, or 90-minute sessions)
• The lesson type (one-on-one private lessons, semi-private with a partner, or group classes)

Committing to a series often lowers the per-session rate significantly.
Group classes deliver excellent value without the premium of one-on-one attention.
Most instructors offer an introductory class at no charge so you can assess their teaching style and compatibility before committing.

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

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

• Eastern grip for forehands 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 style acts as your go-to for serving, net play, and underspin shots. Position your knuckle on bevel two to angle the racquet face.
• The Semi-Western grip dominates contemporary tennis by creating massive topspin. 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.

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