If your shots feel weak, it is rarely your arm's fault. We focus on fixing your hip rotation and footwork first, building the power through the kinetic chain before we ever worry about how hard you swing. Improving your tennis game isn't about watching highlight reels; it's about repeating the right movements until they become automatic. At our Santacruz and Matunga locations, my team and I strip your game down to its core components. ### Mastering the Fundamentals We obsess over the details that players usually ignore. You will learn the '45 and 8' rule—keeping your body aligned at 45 degrees while using your hips to drive the shot. If your hips don't drive, your arm does all the work, and that is how injuries happen. We use high-volume feeding drills to correct your grip, backswing, and contact point until that 'phatka' becomes consistent. ### The Serve Mechanics Your serve is the only shot you fully control. We fix the toss by using two simple cues: your pocket and your eye line. Whether it is a first serve for power or a second serve for safety, we ensure your ball release is consistent every single time. A shaky toss leads to a shaky game, and we do not allow that. ### Our Training Approach We run sessions in small groups so you get enough reps, not just standing in line. We prioritize: * **Footwork patterns:** Ensuring you are in the right position before you swing. * **Rally tolerance:** Building the stamina to keep the ball in play. * **Tactical awareness:** Understanding where to hit, not just how to hit. We provide the plan and the court time, but the effort comes from you. If you are ready to put in the work and actually improve, come train with us. ## About Tennace Academy I'm Vanshal, and at Tennace Academy, we strip away the fluff to get you playing real tennis. My team and I focus on the hard work of building your technique from the ground up, one drill at a time, at our Santacruz and Matunga courts.
