Directions: Read and Explain briefly the following questions below.

The 5 basic skills in badminton involve your:

1. Grip
2. Serve
3. Footwork
4. Stance
5. Stroke

Like any racquet game, having a proper grip in badminton is essential.

The correct grip will allow you to have more control and will help you dictate
where you place your shot.

There are numerous ways of holding a badminton racket depending on

whether your shot is forehand or backhand.

For example, you could use the:

▪ Forehand grip: Anything on your racquet side (right side if you’re right-

handed, left side if you’re left-handed) whether it be overarm or
underarm.
▪ Backhand grip: Anything to your non-racket side (left side if you’re right-
handed, right side if you’re left-handed) whether it be overarm of
underarm.
▪ Universal grip: A type of backhand grip where your thumb has moved to
the edge of the fatter face of your grip. This is used for backhand cross-
court net shots, backhand clears, and backhand straight drop shots from
the rear court.
▪ Panhandle grip: Where your thumb and the finger pinch the top of the
racket in order to tap/net-kill the incoming shuttlecock.

Make sure to hold your badminton racket lightly no matter what type of grip you
use.

In fact, the grip should be so light, that someone can come along and pull it
away from your hands.

This will help you prevent wrist injuries and improve the angle and flexibility of
your shot.

Service is another necessary skill you need to master for badminton.

A good serve is likely to get you points and may give you some advantage
during the rally.

There are two types of services used in badminton:

a. High Serve

High serve is used when you want to force your opponent to run to the back of
the court by hitting the shuttlecock toward the rear end of the court (sometimes
the corner).

A good high serve will usually save you from receiving a smash from your
opponent.

b. Low Serve

The low serve is used to bring the opponent forward by hitting the shuttlecock
toward the front of the court.

If you managed to send a fabulous low serve, the opponent would have to
dash forward and move under the shuttle to return it.

Depending on the quality of the return, you might be able to return the shot with
a net kill/smash.

Let’s move on to number 3 on our list of basic badminton skills:

3. Footwork

Footwork is another vital skill for badminton.

You have to continually adjust your speed according to the speed of the
shuttlecock.

The players have limited space to move around, so good footwork is imperative.

With proper footwork, you will be able to conserve energy and face shots
coming toward you from any direction.

While returning strokes from the opponent, the stance is a crucial skill required in
badminton.

Proper posture will allow you to return the opponent’s strokes efficiently and
enable you to get an advantage in rallies.

There are three basic stances in badminton:

a. Defensive Stance

You can use the defensive stance to defend opponents smashes.

To take the defensive posture, face the net with your body and put the racquet
at about your waist height.

You can also use this stance to perform a high clear since you’ll need to make a
fast, unconscious decision when returning the shot.

Using the defensive stance, you could perform a lift to buy some time.

This time will help you regain your posture and prepare for the opposing player’s
reply.

Lifts allow the opponents to send a return smash but this doesn’t make them an
ineffective defensive stroke.

By using the lift from a defensive stance, you can look for the perfect
opportunity to counter-attack your opponent, such as by playing a net shot.

b. Attacking Stance

The attacking stance will allow you to return a short or high lift from your
opponent.

To utilize the attacking stance, try to get behind the shuttlecock, raise your arm,
and then transfer your body weight to your racquet leg, and hit the shuttlecock
as a smash.

By utilizing the attacking stance, and depending on the opponent’s stroke, you
can also send a drop shot.

Drop shots can be used when receiving the shuttlecock from the front or back
part of the court.

c. Net Stance

The net stance in badminton is used to return the opponent’s stroke after
sending a net shot.

Place your racquet foot forward and your other foot backwards. Place the
racquet in front of your body slightly above your waist for the net stance.

One way to get into the net stance is by first using a tumbling net shot.

The tumbling net shot makes the shuttlecock tumble and spin right above the
net and into your opponent’s court.

After sending a tumbling net shot, your body will naturally put itself in the net
stance.

When you are in the net stance, get ready to perform a net kill move to an
attacking stance to perform a winning smash.

5. Strokes

Strokes are fundamental to becoming a good badminton player and executing

superior shots.

Broadly categorizing, there are two main kinds of strokes:

a. Forehand Shots

Forehand shots should be played when the shuttlecock is on your racket side.

Your index finger will control the forehand stroke as you swing overarm or
underarm.

Swing the wrist along with your index finger as support to play a forehand stroke.

b. Backhand shots

Backhand shots should be played when the shuttlecock is on your non-racket

side with your thumb controlling the strokes.

While playing badminton, your light grip will mean you’ll be able to switch
between the forehand and backhand grip at ease.

To play a backhand shot, hold the racquet with the back of your hand in front
and swing your wrist forward while using your thumb as support.
