Book your tennis coach in West Melbourne

Tennis revolves around four essential strokes that every player must develop.

• Your forehand stroke 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 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.
• Your serve stroke starts every point and is the only shot you control completely. You throw the ball up, then swing overhead to deliver pace and precision.
• The volley demands quick reactions at net, striking mid-flight. The motion stays compact with a locked wrist and forward punch.

Once you control these techniques, you can handle any match situation.

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

One-on-one tennis coaching in West Melbourne generally runs about $30/h.

This cost differs depending on several factors:

• Your skill level (complete novice, club player, or competitive level)
• The coach's experience and qualifications (years of coaching, professional playing experience, coaching accreditations)
• Session length and regularity (30-minute, 60-minute, or 90-minute sessions)
• The coaching structure (one-on-one private lessons, semi-private with a partner, or group classes)

Multi-session rates can make regular coaching more affordable in the long run.
Group classes deliver excellent value without the premium of one-on-one attention.
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 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 grip 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 fuels modern power tennis with extreme spin production. Your base knuckle moves to the fourth bevel (bottom right for right-handers), allowing you to brush up the back of the ball aggressively.

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

Locate the bevels on your handle and align your knuckle to the correct panel for each stroke.
