Badminton is 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.
Kinds of Grip

Forehand Grip - 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.
Backhand Grip - 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.
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.
Drive- it is a hard stroke hit on a straight line
Smash / kill- it is a hard stroke hit sharply
downward.
