6. BASIC GRIP OF THE BADMINTON RACKET • Forehand • "Shake hands" type of grip • Face of racket perpendicular to floor • Little finger should be at the end or "butt" of the racket • A "V" will be formed by the thumb and pointer finger on top of the racket handle

7. BASIC GRIP OF THE BADMINTON RACKET • Backhand • Same grip as the forehand can be used • OR, Use the THUMB UP GRIP • Rotate the racket slightly so the thumb is along the wide side of the racket

8. FOREHAND HIGH SERVICE • Use this badminton serve during singles play to move your opponent as far back in court as possible, thus opening up his court. Be more cautious if you use this serve during doubles. Opponents with strong attacking abilities will work this serve to your disadvantage. • - Stand two to three feet behind the short service line.- Relax your body and bent your knees slightly.- Lead with your non-racket leg and place your racket leg behind.- Bring your racket back to your waist level then start your forward swing.- Hold the shuttle by the feathers and bring it closer to meet the racket instead of dropping it in front.- Contact the shuttle at a higher point but still below your waist line.- Push the shuttle with the racket face and try to make the shuttle skim the tape of the net.

9. FOREHAND LOW SERVICE • Use this badminton serve when you want your opponent to lift the shuttle. It is commonly used during doubles, but you can use it during singles too if your opponent's attack is too strong. You can use either forehand or backhand to play this serve.

10. SERVICE RULES IN BADMINTON • You and your opponent shall stand within diagonally opposite service courts without touching the boundary lines of these service courts.Some part of both feet of you and your opponent must remain in contact with the surface of the court in a stationary position from the start of the service until the service is delivered.Your racket shall initially hit the base of the shuttle. The whole shuttle shall be below your waist as you hit it with the racket.The shaft or your racket at the instant of hitting the shuttle shall be pointing in a downward direction to such an extent that the whole of the head of the racket is discernibly below the whole of your hand holding the racket.

11. SERVING AND RECEIVING COURTS • You shall serve from, and receive in, the right service court when you or your opponent has scored an even number of points in that game. • Service must be diagonal You shall serve from, and receive in, the left service court when you or your opponent has scored an odd number of points in that game.You and your opponent will hit the shuttle alternately until a 'fault' is made or the shuttle ceases to be in play.

12. FOREHAND OVERHEAD CLEAR IN BADMINTON • Forehand Overhead Clear • Good preparation is a must. The racket should be taken back to the back-scratching position as one moves into position • When the racket is taken back, it is important that the wrist be cocked up • Turn sideways to the net • Hit the shuttle, extending as high as possible with the racket face pointing slightly up • Transfer weight forward, snap the wrist, and rotate the forearm at point of contact • Rotate the shoulders and nips as one would when throwing a ball • Hit the shuttle hard. • Hit the shuttle high and deep

13. BACKHAND OVERHEAD CLEAR IN BADMINTON • Switch to the backhand grip while turning sideways • Cock the wrist down, bend the arm and reach behind the back when preparing • Extend the arm outward at point of contact and try to generate as much power as possible by snapping the wrist and rolling the forearm • Bring your right leg across over the left leg if shuttle is away. • The shoulder rotation is critical. It will be impossible to generate any power without extensive use of the shoulders • Reach in front of the body (towards the net) to make contact

14. BACKHAND UNDERHAND CLEAR

15. FOOTWORK IN BADMINTON • Good badminton footwork is simply having the ability to reach the shuttle early while on balance. You can skip, shuffle, bounce, glide, chasse step or lunge on court.So long as you reach the shuttle fast, depriving your opponents of time, you can use all the above movement that suits best to you depending on the situation.

16. Primarily utilized after a high serve or a clear shot, the drop shot should just barely clear the net. It is most effective when disguised as an overhead clear. DROP SHOT IN BADMINTON

17. SMASH IN BADMINTON • Get into position so contact can be made in front of the body with the racket face angling down toward the court • It is far easier to smash from the forecourt than the back court because of the angle the shuttle must travel. Also the shuttle slows down rapidly and therefore may be easily returned when struck from deep in the court • Sharp downward angle is just as important as sheer speed. The smash is a power stroke that must be placed at the opponents feet
