Book your tennis coach in Epping

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

• The forehand shot 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 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 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 requires compact technique at the net, hitting before the bounce. The motion stays compact with a locked wrist and forward punch.

These fundamentals unlock every aspect of competitive tennis play.

Practice each stroke separately at first, then combine them during rallies to build consistency and confidence.

Tennis lessons in Epping typically cost around $100/h.

This cost differs depending on several factors:

• Your current ability (starting out, casual player, or tournament standard)
• The teacher's background and certifications (time in the sport, tournament pedigree, official qualifications)
• Class length and how often you train (half-hour, hour, or extended blocks)
• The lesson type (one-on-one private lessons, semi-private with a partner, or group classes)

Many coaches offer bulk session deals when you book multiple lessons upfront, reducing your overall cost.
Squad sessions 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.

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

Players rely on three core grip variations depending on shot selection:

• Eastern forehand hold works well for starters, delivering pace with minimal wrist adjustment. 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.
• Semi-Western forehand grip is popular among modern players for generating heavy topspin on forehands. 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.
