Hi,

My name is Ms. Abby, Today

I want to talk about
badminton as one of the most
popular sports in the world.
 What is badminton?
Badminton is one of the
racquet sports requiring players
to hit a shuttlecock across a net
with a racket inside a
badminton court. Generally, it
comes in 2 forms:

• “Singles”, a 1 vs 1 game
• “Doubles”, a 2 vs 2
games.
The History of
Badminton
 Origin of Badminton

Badminton could be traced back to

more than 2000 years ago to the
ancient game called battledore (bat
or paddle) and shuttlecock (also
called “bird” or “birdie”), similar
games were played for centuries
across Eurasia countries such as
Greece, Egypt, China, India, and
Japan.
Origin of Badminton

 From the 1600s, battledore and

shuttlecock was just a game involving 2
persons hitting a shuttlecock towards each
other as many times as possible before it
hit the ground and it used to be an upper-
class game in Europe, including England.

 Nowadays, You can still find a similar

game in Japan which is called Hanetsuki,
it’s a very popular new year’s game
involving a wooden paddle called hagoita
and a shuttle called hane.

1. BADMINTON
racket
Badminton rackets can be
made from several types of
materials. Depending on the
material selection, this can
result in different
combinations of racket
weight, balance points and
string tensions.
2.
shuttlecock
There are two types of
shuttlecocks - plastic and
feathered shuttlecocks.
Plastic shuttlecocks are far more
durable compared to the feathered
types which are commonly used.
However, plastic shuttlecocks are
only recommended for beginners
who are just starting out.
feathered shuttlecocks are expensive
and fray easily especially if the
wrong technique is used.
