Four fundamental strokes form the basis of all tennis play.

• The forehand shot acts as your go-to power stroke on your dominant side. You swing the racquet across your body with topspin for control and pace.
• Your backhand stroke comes in single-handed or double-handed variations. Two-handed backhands provide more stability and power for beginners, while one-handed versions offer greater reach.
• Your serve stroke starts every point and is the only shot you control completely. 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.

These fundamentals unlock every aspect of competitive tennis play.

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

Individual tennis instruction in Rowville generally runs about $80/h.

This cost differs depending on several factors:

• Your skill level (complete novice, club player, or competitive level)
• The teacher's background and certifications (years of coaching, professional playing experience, coaching accreditations)
• Session length and regularity (30-minute, 60-minute, or 90-minute sessions)
• The lesson type (individual coaching, shared sessions, or squad training)

Purchasing lesson blocks often lowers the per-session rate significantly.
Group formats cost less than private coaching while maintaining high teaching standards.
Most instructors offer a free trial lesson 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 forehand hold is ideal for beginners because it allows flat, powerful shots with natural wrist position. Position your hand as if shaking hands with the racquet, base knuckle resting on bevel three.
• The Continental style 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.
• The Semi-Western 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.
