Book your tennis coach in Ultimo

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.
• Your backhand stroke comes in single-handed or double-handed variations. Double-handed technique suits learners seeking stability, whereas single-handed extends your reach.
• The service motion begins every exchange as your sole uncontested stroke. You toss the ball above your head, then strike it with an overhead motion combining power and placement.
• The volley shot 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.

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

One-on-one tennis coaching in Ultimo generally runs about $75/h.

This price fluctuates depending on several factors:

• The player's standard (complete novice, club player, or competitive level)
• The teacher's background and certifications (time in the sport, tournament pedigree, official qualifications)
• Class length and how often you train (short intensive sessions or longer practice periods)
• The format (solo instruction, pair work, or team clinics)

Purchasing lesson blocks often lowers the per-session rate significantly.
Group lessons are typically more economical than private sessions while still providing quality instruction and practice opportunities.
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. Position your hand as if shaking hands with the racquet, base knuckle resting on bevel three.
• 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 hold is popular among modern players for generating heavy topspin on forehands. Position your knuckle on the lower-right panel for maximum spin potential.

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.
