BADMINTON

Course Professor

✔BADMINTON is a racket sport played by either two
opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs
(doubles).
✔Competitive badminton is best played indoors
because shuttlecock flight is affected by wind. But
badminton, as a casual recreational activity, can
also be played outdoors.
✔Badminton has been an Olympic sport since 1992
(Barcelona).
Nature of the Game

✔The origins of the game, badminton, date back at
least 2,000 years to the game of battledore and
shuttlecock played in ancient Greece, China and
India, where a form of the game called “poona”
was played.
✔In 1860s, British army officers posted to India
became interested in “Poona” and took the game
home to England, where the rules of badminton
were set out.
History of Badminton

✔This new sport was definitively launched in 1873 at
the Badminton House in Gloucestershire, the
ancestral home of the Duke of Beaufort, where
he introduced the sport to his guests.
✔It was then known as “The Game of Badminton”
for a number of years, until the name was
shortened to BADMINTON.
✔Gloucestershire is now the base for the
International Badminton Federation.

Facilities and
Equipment

Racket – Badminton rackets are light,
with top quality rackets weighting
between 79 and 91 grams including
the strings. The grip of the racket is
very important. The choice of grip
allows a player to increase the
thickness of his racket handle and
choose a comfortable surface to
hold.

Shuttlecock – A shuttlecock (shuttle, birdie) is a high-drag
projectile, with an open conical shape: the cone is
formed from sixteen overlapping feathers embedded
into a rounded cork base. The cork is covered with thin
leather or synthetic material.
✔Synthetic shuttles (nylon) are often used by
recreational players to reduce their costs as feathered
shuttles break easily.

A. TYPES OF GRIP
Forehand Grip – also known as the
“shake hands” grip. This grip is used
to hit shots that are at the forehand
side of your body and around the head
shots
Backhand Grip – using a forehand
grip, rotate the hand slightly so the
thumb is along and parallel to the wide
side of the handle.

B. FOOTWORK
1. Move toward the shot with short steps and end with a long
stride.
2. Most shots are played with the body at right angles to the
net.
3. In the ready position the racket is held high, the knees are
slightly bent, and the body weight is on the balls of the feet.

C. STROKES
Clear – a shot used to drive
your opponent away from the
net or forecourt or to slow the
game.

Smash – an attacking shot made
at the limit of one’s upward reach
and slightly in front of the
shoulder. At the moment of
contact, the arm and wrist come
down forcibly.

Drive – A flat shot kept as
low as possible and is second
only to the smash as an
attacking shot.

Drop Shot – any shot that drops immediately after crossing
the net. The descent of the bird is controlled with little follow-
through.

Net Shot – any shot played as near to the net as possible,
controlled by wrist and forearm. The hairpin shot is an example
of net shot.

D. SERVICE
1. High and deep (singles) – take a position near and on the
proper side of the center line and about four feet behind the
short service line. Drop the bird on the racket side and
swing the racket forward.
2. Low and short (doubles) – take a position closer to the
front service line. The racket is swung forward with little
follow-through.

Drive (flick) – a quick snap of the wrist in the backhand grip
with the bird held directly in front of the body. The bird travels
in a direct line at the receiver.
