Book your tennis coach in Newcastle

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

• 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 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.
• 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.
• Your volley technique demands quick reactions at net, striking mid-flight. You keep the swing short and drive through with a stable wrist.

Mastering these four strokes gives you the complete toolkit to rally, attack, and defend on court.

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

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

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 grip serves as the all-purpose grip for serves, volleys, and defensive slices. 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. Shift your knuckle to bevel four to enable steep upward brushing action.

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

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