D. Kinds of Grip in Badminton

4. 1. Forehand is also known as handshake
grip. The thumb and pointing fingers
wrapped around the handle forming a letter
V while the rest of the fingers are spread,
supporting the bottom part of the handle.
The grip is used to hit the shuttle at the
dominant side of the body and sometimes at
the non-dominant (non-leading) side
overhead.
2. Backhand is used to hit the shuttle at the
non-dominant side of the body. From the
forehand grip position, the fingers are moved
slightly to place the thumb pressing flat on
the flat side of the handle while the rest of the
fingers are positioned together.
The grip adds power to the strokes or
hits since usually the non- dominant side of a
player is the weaker hitting side.
