Four fundamental strokes form the basis of all tennis play.

• The forehand 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.
• The service motion initiates each rally and remains entirely in your control. The motion involves an upward toss followed by an overhead strike for power and accuracy.
• Your volley technique requires compact technique at the net, hitting before the bounce. You use minimal backswing and punch through the ball with a firm wrist.

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

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

You can expect to pay roughly $90/h for tennis coaching in Prahran.

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 (individual coaching, shared sessions, or squad training)

Purchasing lesson blocks often lowers the per-session rate significantly.
Group lessons are typically more budget-friendly than private sessions while still providing quality instruction and practice opportunities.
Trial lessons are often free, letting you test the coaching relationship.

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

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

• 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. Place your knuckle on the top ridge for an angled racquet position.
• Semi-Western forehand grip dominates contemporary tennis by creating massive topspin. Shift your knuckle to bevel four to enable steep upward brushing action.

Start with Eastern for forehands and Continental for serves, adjusting later as your style emerges.

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.
