SHUTTLECOCK/BIRD
 No other sport has so light a missile; five shuttlecocks only weigh 28g(10z), yet it can be
struck repeatedly and hard to leave the racket at well over 160 km(100mph). It is a
miniature Aerodynamic marvel; its design must be as follow:
 The shuttle must have 16 feathers (generally white and from the same wing of a goose)
fixed in the base.
 The base shall be rounded, 25-28mm (1-1 1/8in) in diameter
 The feathers may be 62-70mm in overall length but must be of exactly similar length from
base to tip.
 These tips must form a circle with a diameter of 58-68mm The feathers must be enforced
with inter woven thread round the quills in order to maintain the above spread
 It shall weigh from 4.74-5.50g

IV.BASIC SKILLS

Skills in Badminton can be improved through knowledge of the correct form. Good plying center around
proper stance, correct grip, agile footwork, knowledge of stroke and successful strategies. Correct stance
and good footwork make it possible to move easily to any position and make the correct stroke.

Footwork- the pattern of footwork used depends upon the strokes.

1. if the stroke is on the right side, the left foot is forward and vice versa
2. the body should always be far enough from the bird to that stroke is made with arm and racket
fully extended.
3.for movement made sharply to left or right or backward a pivot can be used. Pivoting when
close to the net is much preferred by back swing last step must be the racket foot-right foot for
the right handed, left foot fort he the player is left handed.
Grip-grip is very important skill in Badminton A wrist snap is very important for proper play so
the racket must be held in such a way that the greatest amount of wrist action is possible.
  FOREHAND GRIP- Use your Non racquet hand to grasp the shaft of the racquet
(skinny part of racquet) Hold the racquet like in Angle 2 position This has your racquet
hand on top of the narrow part of the grip *Move hand so that v" is pointing towards your
chin.

 BACKHAND GRIP- If night handed and from your forehand grip. turn your hand to the
left a '% turn so 'V' is on the bevel of the racquet. *'V' should be facing your non racquet
shoulder *Move thumb onto the side for more power and control. This is a quick slight
movement of the hand to help get more power on a backhand overhead shot.

 SERVICE -It's stated in the Badminton Service Rules that both you and your opponent
shall not cause undue delays in delivering the service once respective positions have been
taken up.
- You and your opponent shall stand within diagonally opposite service courts without
touching the boundary lines of these service Courts.
- Some part of both feet of you and your opponent must remain in contact with the surface of
the court in a stationary position from the start of the service until the service is delivered.

 Your racket shall initially hit base of the shuttle. The whole shuttle shall be below your
waist as you hit it with the racket
 The shaft or your racket at the instant hitting the shuttle shall be pointing in a downward
direction to such an extend the whole of the head of the racket is discernibly below the
whole of your hand holding the racket.
 The movement of your racket must continue forward after the start of the service until
the service is delivered.
 The flight of the shuttle shall be upwards from your racket to pass over the net so that, if
not intercepted, it lands in your opponent's court (on or within the boundary lines).
 It is a 'fault' if you miss the shuttle while attempting to serve. Once you have taken your
position, the first movement of your racket head is deemed to be the start of your service.
 You shall not serve before your opponent is ready but if a return is attempted, your
opponent shall be deemed as ready.
 In doubles, your partner may take up any positions which do not see your opposing
server or receiver.

 Types of Serve

 Low Serve- The low serve is played gently over the net to land at the front of
your opponent's service court, near the short service line. It's important that this
serve passes low over the net (hence the name low serve).
 the low serve is used in both singles and doubles. In doubles, the low serve is
used more frequently than any other serve.

 High Serve- The high serve is played powerfully upwards, so that the
shuttlecock travels very high and falls almost vertically downwards at the back of
the receiver’s service court. High Serves are used frequently in singles, but never
in doubles (at a high standard of play.) The high serve can only be played with a
forehand action. Unlike the other three serves, you just won't get enough power
from a backhand to play a good high serve.

 Flick serve- The flick serve is also played upwards, but much more shallowly
than the high serve. The idea is to deprive the opponent of time, forcing him to
hit the shuttlecock when it's behind his body. Flick serves are used extensively in
doubles, and occasionally in singles.

 Drive Serve- The drive serve is played flat and fast towards the back of the
receiver's service court, passing low over the net. The idea is to provoke an
immediate reaction, hoping that the receiver will mishit the shuttlecock. Drive
serves are a gamble: if your opponent is too slow, then you will win the point
immediately; but if he Serve Trajectory reacts quickly enough, then you are
likely to lose. Drive serves are almost never used by professional players,
because their opponents are quick enough to counter-attack the serve
consistently. At low levels of play, drive serves are used extensively by
competitive players, because many opponents are unable to handle them.

 Backhand Serve- Start at the top of the 'T' (where the short service line meets
the center line). *Racquet foot forward (with most of weight on it-leaning slightly
forward) *Racquet hand up, racquet head down (below waist). Hold shuttle
straight front of your waist with extended arm*At the same time, release the
shuttle and flick your wrist towards your target. Contact shuttle with back part
racquet (knuckles facing target). Go to "ready position"

 FOREHAND SERVE- The long forehand serve is a powerful stroke that gets
the shuttlecock high and deep into your opponent's back court. This shot keeps
the opposing player from moving up on you too quickly during your serve. It's
especially effective in singles play, but you can also use this serve in a
doubles match to get the bird to the base line

FOREHAND BADMINTON SKILLS WITH KEY TEACHING POINTS

CLEAR- From a 'Ready Position'*Move feet to get under shuttle*Foot on racquet side is
back and planted. *Fully extend arm above shoulder/head*With a firm grip snap
wrist*Forceful follow-

SMASH- Start in the 'Ready Position'*Move feet so that shuttle is falling slightly in
front of your racquet arm. *Foot on racquet side is back and planted (weight on it)*
