Part II TOPIC: RACKET SPORTS

Racket sports are characterized using an implement (racket) to volley an object over to the other side of the court over a net. Three popular racket sports will
be discussed today.
Badminton
Badminton is a sport very much like tennis and is played using rackets specific for that sport. A shuttlecock or a feathered cork acts as a missile that is rallied
back and forth over a high net. The racket can be used with a lot of wrist movements, as the material is light. The court is 44 feet long and 17 feet wide for
singles and 20 feet wide for doubles.
There are four common shots or strikes in badminton: the clear, the drop, the drive and the smash. The clear is a lob, where the shuttlecock is hit to go high
over the opponent. The drop is a strike that allows the shuttlecock to go over the net gently. The drive is a strike that shoots the shuttlecock forward in a
straight line. The smash stroke shoots the shuttlecock downward.

Depending on the orientation from where the stroke is coming from, there are also four strokes in Badminton – the forehand stroke, the backhand stroke, the
underhand stroke and the overhand stroke.
1. Forehand stroke is hitting from the racket side.
2. Backhand stroke is hitting from opposite the racket side.
3. Underhand stroke is used when the shuttlecock is coming in low
4. Overhand stroke is used when the shuttlecock is coming in high and goes past over the head.

Table Tennis
Table tennis, sometimes called “ping pong”, is played on a table with a net in the middle, volleying a light ball using rackets or paddles (sometimes called bats).
On the receiving end, the player must allow a bounce off on his or her side of the table before returning the ball.
There are several grips used for the sport.
1. Penhold – it is like holding a pen.
2. Shakehand – like shaking another’s hand.
3. V-grip – when the forefinger and the middle finger sandwiches the blade.
4. Seemiller grip – named after Danny Seemiller, is when the thumb and the forefinger are placed on the same side.

Strokes are classified into offensive and defensive. Offensive strokes result in topspin, while the defensive stroke result in backspin. Exceptions to the spin are
the smash, block and the lob. The terms backhand and forehand are also used in the sport.
Offensive strokes
1. Speed drive – a fast return, with the bat perpendicular to the direction of the stroke.
2. Loop drive – when the bat is parallel to the stroke and the bat touches the ball thinly to create a top spin
3. Counter drive – it is hitting the ball immediately off the bounce using a short movement before the ball reaches the highest point of the bounce.
4. Flip – a backhand with a flick of the wrist.
5. Smash – a drive delivered from a backswing, normally when the opponent returned the ball too high or close to the net.

Defensive strokes
1. Slice – stroke that cuts or slices under the ball to create a backspin
2. Chop - a bigger and heavier slice that cuts straight down
3. Block (the short) – putting the bat in front of the ball to return it.
4. Push-block – a block with a slight push to produce a spin
5. Side drive – similar to a slice but it cuts to the left or right and not downward
6. Lob – executed by backing away from the table around 8 to 10 feet and lifting the ball to create a variety of spins to choose from, sending the ball
high before landing on the opponent’s side of the table
7. Stop or drop shot – executed by letting the ball touch the bat and avoiding hand movement

Lawn Tennis
Lawn Tennis, or most known as tennis, has been made the reference of other sports such as table tennis and badminton because of its popularity. This sport
can be played in singles, doubles or mixed doubles. The sport is played in a court with a net and stringed rackets are used to send a felt-covered rubber ball
back and forth the court. In this sport, the winner is determined by points, games and sets.
Basic strokes
1. Serve – performed by placing one foot forward, tossing the ball with thumb and two fingers, pulling back for a backswing until the racket is pointing
downward, and finishing off with a stroke with the arm fully extended and hitting the ball when it is slightly in front.
2. Forehand drive – a stroke delivered from across the body
3. Backhand drive – a stroke delivered away from the body

There are several types of games both for singles and doubles in tennis. For singles games, these are one ball live, tag team singles, king of the court and
champs and chumps. For the doubles games, these are team doubles, all position doubles and king of the court doubles.
