Book your tennis coach in Surfers Paradise

Four fundamental strokes form the basis of all tennis play.

• The forehand shot 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. Two-handed backhands provide more stability and power for beginners, while one-handed versions offer greater reach.
• The serve begins every exchange as your sole uncontested stroke. 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.

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

Individual tennis instruction in Surfers Paradise generally runs about $45/h.

This price fluctuates depending on several factors:

• The player's standard (starting out, casual player, or tournament standard)
• The coach's experience and qualifications (years of coaching, professional playing experience, coaching accreditations)
• Lesson duration and frequency (short intensive sessions or longer practice periods)
• The coaching structure (solo instruction, pair work, or team clinics)

Package deals can make regular coaching more affordable in the long run.
Shared coaching 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 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 is the universal grip for serves, volleys, and slices because it keeps the racquet face slightly open. Your base knuckle sits on the second bevel (top edge), creating a beveled racquet angle.
• Semi-Western hold 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.
