 ORIGIN OF BADMINTON
1. The game of badminton originated
in Siam, China over 2,000 years ago.
It was brought to England in 1870
and was played somewhat like
tennis. After being played in
Canada, badminton arrived in
America and has been popular since
1929. Since 1992, badminton has
been an Olympic sport, with bird
speeds reaching 100 m.p.h.
In the 1960s, rackets made of aluminum and steel
started to become popular, as they offered
increased power and control. In the 1980s,
rackets made of composite materials such as
carbon fiber and fiberglass were introduced,
which were lighter and stronger than earlier
materials.
Racket handles have also evolved over time. In
the past, natural animal gut strings were used
for the grip, but these were replaced by
synthetic materials such as rubber and
silicone for better grip and control.
The head shape and string tension of rackets can
also affect gameplay. In the past, rackets had
a more circular head shape, but modern
rackets often have a teardrop-shaped head for
improved aerodynamics. Professional players
often opt for rackets with high string tension
for more power and control.
As the sport grew, the feathers became standardised.
For a long time, geese feathers were used for
international play and duck feathers for club
play. From 2021, natural feather shuttlecocks were
replaced by synthetic
ones in all the
tournaments
sanctioned by the
Badminton World
Federation.

1. Racket: Badminton rackets are lightweight
and typically made of materials like carbon fiber,
graphite, or aluminum. They come in various
shapes and sizes but must adhere to regulations
set by the Badminton World Federation (BWF).
Players use a stringed racket to hit the
shuttlecock over the net.
Badminton rackets come in various types, each
designed to cater to different playing styles and
skill levels.
2. Shuttlecock: Also known as a “shuttle” or
“birdie,” the shuttlecock is a feathered or synthetic
projectile with an open conical shape. It has
feathers or a skirt on one end
and a cork base. The
shuttlecock is hit back and
forth across the net during
the game. ‘‘shuttles” or
“birdies,” come in two main
types: feathered shuttlecocks
and synthetic (plastic or n
ylon) shuttlecocks.
3. Net and Posts: The badminton net is set up
across the center of the court, supported by two
posts. The net divides the court into two halves,
and players aim to send the shuttlecock over the
net and into the opponent’s side.
4. Bag: A badminton bag is
used to carry and store
rackets, shuttlecocks,
shoes, and other
accessories. It helps
protect the equipment
and makes it convenient
for players to transport
their gear.
5. Badminton Shoes: Badminton
shoes are designed with non-
marking soles to provide grip on
the court surface. They offer
support and stability, allowing
players to move quickly and make
agile movements. Badminton
shoes are specifically designed to
provide the necessary support,
stability, and traction required for
the quick and lateral movements
involved in badminton.
6. Apparel: Players typically
wear comfortable
sportswear, which may
include moisture-wicking
shirts, shorts or skirts, and
appropriate sports socks.
Light and breathable
materials are preferred to
allow for ease of
movement.
 7. Grips and Overgrips: Players often customize the grip of
their rackets using grips or overgrips. These help absorb sweat
and provide a comfortable hold on the racket.
8. Badminton Court: The badminton court is a rectangular area divided
into halves by the net. The dimensions and markings on the court
follow specific regulations. The court is shorter than a tennis court, and
the game can be played in singles (one player per side) or doubles (two
players per side).
A badminton court is divided into various sections, each marked
with specific lines to define the boundaries and playing areas.

1. Scoring System: A badminton match is typically played to the best
of three games. The first player or pair to reach 21 points wins a
game, with the exception that a player or pair must win by at least two
points.

2. Serve: The serve must be made diagonally across the net. The
server’s feet must not cross the service boundary, and both feet must
remain on the ground during the serve.

3. Service Court: The serve must land in the diagonally opposite

service court. In doubles, the shuttle must be served to the correct
service court, and the receiving side makes the return.
4. Scoring System for Serving Side: Only the serving side can score
points. If the serving side wins a rally, they score a point and continue
to serve. If the receiving side wins a rally, they score a point and
become the new serving side.

5. Faults: A fault occurs if the shuttle:

- Lands outside the boundaries of the court.
- Does not clear the net.
- Lands in the wrong service court.
- Is touched by a player.
- A player touches the net with any part of their body or racket.
6. Doubles Play: ln doubles, each side has a right and left service
court. The server must serve diagonally to the opponent’s service
court. Only the player in the right service court serves when the
serving side has an even score, and the player in the left service court
serves when the score is odd.

7. Change of Ends: Players or pairs change ends with their opponents

after each game and when the total score of either side reaches 11
points in the third game.

8. ln/Out Calls: Players or pairs are responsible for making their own
line calls. In high-level play, line judges may be present to make these
calls.
9. Let: A let is called if the shuttle hits the net but still lands in the
correct service court, or if there is an interruption or distraction
during play.

10. Continuous Play: Play should be continuous without undue delay.

Players are allowed a maximum of 60 seconds between points and a
two-minute interval between games.

crucial in badminton. Players A B
can use various serving
techniques, including high
serves, low serves, and flick
serves, to keep opponents
guessing and gain a strategic
advantage

A B
2. Clear: The clear is a shot
that sends the shuttle deep
into the opponent's backcourt.
It is often used to push the
opponent to the back of the
court, creating opportunities
for other offensive shots.
3. Drop Shot: The drop shot is a
soft shot played close to the net,
making it challenging for the
opponent to reach. It requires
finesse and precise control to
drop the shuttle just over the
net.
4. Smash: The smash is a
powerful overhead shot played
with a swift, downward motion.
It is often used as an attacking
shot to finish off a rally. Players
aim to hit the shuttle with
maximum power and speed.
5. Drive: The drive is a fast, flat
shot that travels horizontally
over the net. It is used to
counter opponents' attacking
shots and maintain control of
the rally.
6. Net Shot: The net shot involves
playing the shuttle just over the
net, close to the opponent's side. It
requires delicate touch and
precision, making it an effective
shot for setting up offensive
opportunities.
7. Lift: The lift is a
defensive shot that sends
the shuttle high into the air
to the back of the court. It
is often used to counter
smashes and regain
control of the rally.
8. Drop Smash: The drop smash is a
combination of a smash and a drop
shot. It involves deceiving the
opponent by initiating a smashing
motion but executing a drop shot at
the last moment.
9. Footwork: Efficient footwork is crucial in badminton. Players
need to move quickly and smoothly around the court to reach the
shuttle in time. Proper positioning enhances a player's ability to
execute various shots effectively.

10. Deception: Deceptive shots involve tricking the opponent by using body
movements, wrist actions, or subtle changes in shot execution to create
uncertainty. Deception is an essential element, especially in the net game.

11. Spin: Adding spin to the shuttlecock can make it more challenging for
opponents to predict its trajectory. Players can use spins such as slice,
reverse slice, and spin net shots to add variety to their shots. Mastering these
techniques requires practice, coordination, and an understanding of the
strategic aspects of the game. Players often develop their own playing styles
and preferences based on their strengths and playing strategies.
