Book your tennis coach in Manly

Four fundamental strokes form the basis of all tennis play.

• The forehand shot serves as the main offensive stroke from your dominant side. You brush up on the ball while swinging through for spin and depth.
• 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.
• Your serve stroke initiates each rally and remains entirely in your control. You throw the ball up, then swing overhead to deliver pace and precision.
• Your volley technique is a short, punchy stroke played near the net before the ball bounces. You keep the swing short and drive through with a stable 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.

Individual tennis instruction in Manly generally runs about $90/h.

This price fluctuates depending on several factors:

• Your current ability (starting out, casual player, or tournament standard)
• The coach's experience and qualifications (years of coaching, professional playing experience, coaching accreditations)
• Session length and regularity (half-hour, hour, or extended blocks)
• The coaching structure (individual coaching, shared sessions, or squad training)

Many coaches offer multi-lesson bundles when you book multiple lessons upfront, reducing your overall cost.
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.

Grip choice controls spin generation, power transfer, and shot accuracy.

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

• Eastern grip for forehands 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 grip is the universal grip for serves, volleys, and slices because it keeps the racquet face slightly open. Position your knuckle on bevel two to angle the racquet face.
• Semi-Western forehand grip fuels modern power tennis with extreme spin production. Shift your knuckle to bevel four to enable steep upward brushing action.

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

Use the bevel numbering system to consistently place your hand for every shot type.
