What is Poonai?
Poonai

This game can be traced back to mid-19thcentury British India. It was very
popular in the British garrison town Poona, the game soon became known as
poonai.
1873
The birth of badminton is due to retired British military officer who, returning to the
England from India, started playing a version of the Indian game “poonai.” They
developed and set set up the rules. With no ball, they used a champagne cork with
feathers in it.

In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort held a lawn party in his country place, The Badminton
House, Gloucestershire, England. A game of poonai was played on that day and
became popular among the British society’s elite. The new party sport became known
as “The Badminton Game”

TYPES OF GRIP
 FUNDAMENTAL SKILL IN BADMINTON

1. Forehand drive- a forehand drive is seen as an attacking shot. They aim to be hit flatly over the net
a forehand drive can be used straight over the net or diagonally across. To hit a perfect drive there are
many techniques you must follow. Firstly, you want to lead with your racket leg. You should use a side
step action to move towards the shuttle your racket foot should facing the side line. You want to lock
your wrist and move your arm out to the side and swing back your racket should be parallel to the
floor. When going to swing toward towards the shuttle your weight should shift to your racket leg.
When contacting the shuttle extend your arms and roll your forearm over, hit the shuttle at the highest
point possible. If you wish to hit the shuttle across court than you should turn your racket inwards. You
should then follow through with your arm normally and return to base potion.
2. BADMINTON CLEAR/LOB- this is the most basic badminton shot. Every beginner
should first master this. The defensive badminton clear is performed to get you out of
trouble. In many instances, you’ll be under tremendous pressure by your opponent. This
happen when your opponent plays faster pace and is firing continuous attack on you.
3. Badminton Drop Shot- the badminton drop shot is semi-offensive. It’s
performed from the back of the court and is usually used to maintain the
pace of the game. The defensive clear (explain above) slow down the pace
of the game because it keeps the shuttle in the air for quite a while. The drop
shot, in the other hand, maintain the pace of the game. Drop shot performed
at a steep angle lands on the ground quicker compared to the clear or lo.
Your opponent has to rush forward to retrieve it.
4. BADMINTON SMASH- the smash is on of the most powerful badminton shots
(apart from jump smash) that is fired from a steep angle. However, when you decide to
smash, you’re taking a risk. Smashing causes you to lose a certain degree of balance.
Thus, make sure that your smash will win you a rally point, or at least force a very
weak return from your opponent.
In order to minimize your risks and ensure our smash works towards your advantage, you should:
5. NETTING- the net kill is a useful skill to end a rally when if your
opponent executes a poor-quality net shot (net shot that is too high).
When your opponent plays a net shot that is too high, strike with a net
kill.
