Book your tennis coach in New Farm

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

• Your forehand stroke serves as the main offensive stroke from your dominant side. The motion sweeps across your body, generating spin and power.
• The backhand can be hit with one hand or two hands, depending on your preference and strength. The two-handed grip gives beginners extra control and consistency, though one hand adds range.
• The service motion initiates each rally and remains entirely in your control. You throw the ball up, then swing overhead to deliver pace and precision.
• The volley shot 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.

One-on-one tennis coaching in New Farm generally runs about $70/h.

This price fluctuates depending on several factors:

• The player's standard (beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• The coach's experience and qualifications (teaching tenure, competitive history, certification level)
• Class length and how often you train (half-hour, hour, or extended blocks)
• The coaching structure (solo instruction, pair work, or team clinics)

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.
First-time sessions 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 grip for forehands suits learners by enabling powerful, flat strokes with comfortable wrist alignment. 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 grip serves as the all-purpose grip for serves, volleys, and defensive slices. Place your knuckle on the top ridge for an angled racquet position.
• Semi-Western forehand grip fuels modern power tennis with extreme spin production. Position your knuckle on the lower-right panel for maximum spin potential.

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.
