BADMINTON: OVERVIEW, BRIEF HISTORY AND
DEVELOPMENT
WHAT IS BADMINTON?
Badminton is a racket sport played by either two
opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs
(doubles), who take positions on opposite halves of
a rectangular court that is divided by a net. Players
score points by striking a shuttlecock with their
racket so that it passes over the net and lands in
their opponents' half of the court.

FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT

BADMINTON: FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT
1. COURT
• SINGLES- 44 ft. long and 17 ft. wide

• DOUBLES- 44 ft. long and 22 ft. wide
• SIDE ALLEYS- 1 ½ ft.
• BACK ALLEYS- 2 ½ ft.
1. COURT
• The right and left service court are the two service areas on each side of
the net, bounded by a line running parallel to the net, called the short-
service line.
• The ceiling height should be 30 ft. for official game, and 24 ft. for
instructional game.
• Floor surface is traditionally wood, but many synthetics is traditionally
wood, but many synthetic and plastic courts have been developed.
COURT MARKINGS
• Baseline: These lines mark the length of the court. They run
parallel to the net and define the rear boundary of the court.
• Service Courts: Each side of the court is divided into two
service courts by the centerline and the short service line.
The short service line is located 6.1 meters (20 feet) from the
net and divides the service courts into the front and back
halves.
COURT MARKINGS
• Centerline: This line runs perpendicular to the net and

divides the court into two equal halves.
• Service Lines: These lines are located parallel to the
net and mark the limits of the service courts. They are
drawn at a distance of 1.98 meters (6 feet 6 inches)
from the net on each side.
2. NET AND POST
• The net should be made of a dark- colored mosh,

• 2 ½ feet deep, with a 1 ½ inch white tape extending
across the top. The top of the net should be 5 feet above
the floor at a point equidistant from the sidelines; and 5
feet and 1 inch in height at point above the double’s
sidelines.
2. NET AND POST
3. RACKET/ RACQUET
• It is a synthetic light material and can be made of wood,

aluminum metal such a graphic or carbon. It can be up to
68 cm long and it is usually weighing about 100grams.
Most strings are made of synthetic such as nylon but
world-class players use lamb. String diameter ranges from
19-22 gauge.
3. RACKET/ RACQUET
• 1. Head: The head is the oval-shaped part of the racket that contains
the stringed surface. It is the area used to strike the shuttlecock during
play.
• 2. Stringed Surface: The stringed surface, also known as the string bed,
is the area within the head of the racket where the strings are tightly
stretched. It is where the shuttlecock makes contact during shots.
• 3. Frame: The frame is the outer structure of the racket that supports
the stringed surface. It provides stability and strength to the racket.
• 4. Shaft: The shaft is the long, thin portion of the racket that connects the head to
the handle. It provides flexibility and control to the racket, influencing the power
and accuracy of shots.
• 5. Handle/Grip: The handle, also known as the grip, is the part of the racket that the
player holds during play. It is typically covered with a grip tape for comfort and to
prevent slipping.
• 6. Grommets: Grommets are small plastic or rubber pieces located around the
edges of the racket head. They protect the strings from damage and friction
caused by contact with the frame.
• 7. Throat: The throat is the narrow section of the racket where the shaft meets the
head. It plays a role in the racket's aerodynamics and balance.
• Types: Badminton rackets come in various types, including recreational,
intermediate, and professional rackets, each catering to different skill
levels and playing styles.
• Materials: Rackets are typically made of lightweight materials such as
carbon fiber, graphite, aluminum, or steel. Carbon fiber rackets are
popular for their durability and stiffness.
• Features: Rackets may have different features such as head shape
(isometric or oval), string tension, grip size, and balance point (head-
heavy, even-balance, or head-light), all of which can affect power,
control maneuverability
4. SHUTTLECOCKS
• It is made from 14-16 goose feathers that are placed in a leather-
covered cork head,
• made of either plastic or nylon. Synthetic shuttles are suitable for
recreational games
• but feathered or official shuttlecock weighs from 4.74 to 5.50
grams.
4. SHUTTLECOCKS
• TYPES OF SHUTTLECOCK
Feather- Goose or duck
- Used in pro-level/ competitions
- Light in weight
- Requires power
- Damages easily
4. SHUTTLECOCKS
• TYPES OF SHUTTLECOCK
Synthetic- Nylon or Plastic
- Used in Schools, small clubs or
trainings
- Cheaper than feather, last longer
- Requires less power
Topic Five
BADMINTON: GRIPPING TECHNIQUE

HOLDING THE RACQUET

• The correct way of holding a racquet is as simple as a
FRIENDLY HANDSHAKE. Imagine the grip of the racquet as
a hand approaching to shake your hand. Go ahead and
hold the racquet as if you’re shaking someone’s hand.
HOLDING THE RACQUET

• Your thumb should be pressing
comfortably against one of the
wider surfaces of the racquet grip
while the rest of your hand holds
the racquet as if you’re shaking a
person’s hand.
• The way you hold your racket can
affect the flexibility of your wrist.
HOLDING THE RACQUET

In order to execute strong badminton strokes with high accuracy, your wrist needs
to be flexible.
To achieve this, make sure you:
• Do not grip your racquet too tightly. This will make your wrist less flexible in
rotating and flicking.
• Use ONLY your thumb, index, and middle finger to control the racket. Your
last 2 fingers should rest comfortably on the badminton grip to balance the
weight of the racquet. Doing this, it enables your wrist to be more flexible and
move more freely.
FOREHAND AND BACKHAND GRIP

Basically you’ll need to use the:
• Forehand grip to hit forehand shots.
• Backhand grip to hit backhand shots.
The forehand and backhand grip looks almost the
same. There’s only one slight difference – the placement of
your fingers.
FOREHAND GRIP
• Your thumb does not necessarily have to press against the wider
surface of the badminton grip for a forehand stroke.
• Your index finger should be the one “in control” in a
forehand stroke. This simply means using your index finger to
push the racquet forward while doing a forehand stroke.
• However, rest your thumb comfortably anywhere near the wider
surface of the badminton grip to enable you to change to a
backhand grip quickly.
FOREHAND GRIP
LESSON 1: BADMINTON
V-SHAPE SPACE BETWEEN INDEX AND MIDDLE FINGER 63
BACKHAND GRIP
• The key to performing strong backhands depends on how you hold
your racquet. The true power of a badminton backhand shot comes
from the push of your thumb.
• A backhand stroke requires you to USE YOUR THUMB. So you should
now press your thumb on the wider surface of the badminton grip.
Relax your index finger and move it closer to your middle finger.
• The backhand grip will look like you’re doing a ‘thumbs-up.
BACKHAND GRIP

reach it at a height between your waist and your shoulder, return
it with a sidearm stride
