Badminton Basics and Grips
Part of: Badminton skills
Singles pits one against one, doubles two against two, aiming shuttles into the rival court. Grip means racket hold, stance means ready body. A loose handshake grip taps shuttles five times per turn; fewest drops win.
Why it matters. Right grip steadies shots.
Try it in two minutes
- Shake hands with racket.
- Hold it loosely.
- Tap five times.
Try at home. Practise handshake grip.
Backhand Grip and Footwork
Part of: Badminton skills
Backhand sets the thumb base behind the handle and taps five times like forehand. Chasse steps glide one foot after another; a six-bucket shuttle drill timed shortest wins and sharpens reaction.
Why it matters. Feet fetch what hands hit.
Try it in two minutes
- Set thumb behind.
- Glide chasse steps.
- Time bucket drill.
Try at home. Sidestep down a lane.
Serves
Part of: Badminton skills
Backhand low serves skim the net diagonally from waist height with 10 practice chances. Forehand high serves fly deep from below the waist with 5 chances; low serves shift weight forward into buckets for a point each.
Why it matters. Serves set rally terms.
Try it in two minutes
- Hold shuttle steady.
- Push gently over.
- Aim front or back.
Try at home. Toss underarm gently.
Shots and Match
Part of: Badminton skills
Lifts send shuttles high to the back with feeder scoring five for circles and one inside. Drives fly flat to rush rivals; clears reach the rear; drops fall soft near the net. Rallies award a point each until someone reaches five.
Why it matters. Each shot owns a moment.
Try it in two minutes
- Lift low ones high.
- Drive flat and fast.
- Drop soft near net.
Try at home. Shadow-swing five shots.
