OBJECTIVE
S
At the end of the lesson the learners are
expected to:

1. Differentiate Forehand and Backhand Grip

2. Identify the different shots

3. Demonstrate different shots

 BADMINTON
A very important sport that is quite different from
other racket games like tennis or table tennis. A wrist
snap is very important for proper play so the grip must
be held in such a way that the greatest amount of wrist
action is possible.
 GRIP
In badminton, a grip is a way of holding the
racket in order to hit shots during a match. The most
commonly used grip is the orthodox forehand grip. Most
players change grips during a rally depending on
whether it is forehand or backhand shot. A grip is also
the wrapping around the handle of the racket.
KINDS OF
GRIP
 Forehand Grip

o This is popularly called the handshake grip for it means the palm to be
parallel to the face of the racket, it is sometimes called pistol grip. A
player's forehand side is the same side as their playing hand: for a right-
handed player, the forehand side is their right side and the backhand side
is their left side. Forehand strokes are hit with the front of the hand leading
(like hitting with the palm)
 Backhand Grip

o This slightly modified version of the forehand grip can vary depending
on the type of shot being hit, especially when the shot should be made
from the left side of the player. Backhand strokes are hit with the back
of the hand leading (like hitting with the knuckles)
 
 Strokes
Badminton strokes are part of the foundation of
badminton. Without proper knowledge of badminton
strokes, your progress in the game will be impaired. It
can be Overhead, underhand or parallel. Hitting the
shuttlecock with the racket varies from the intent of the
player and the flight of the bird.
KINDS OF
SHOTS
 Clear

The shuttle soars high in a high arc and falls into the court behind
the opponent
 Drop

The shuttle falls gently and just clears the net.

 Smash / kill
