Often we need a less extreme version of a thumb grip. I call it a backhand grip, because that’s the most common name. You could also call it a partial or moderate thumb grip.
The service courts are smaller box shapes inside the court. We’ll look at what they are used for in a moment, but first let’s get the right boxes. Notice that the badminton court has a line down the middle, extending from the back to near the net; this is the centre line. At the front of the court, the centre line is met by another line; this is the front service line. These two lines form a T shape where they meet. A singles service court is a box made from four lines: The centre line A singles side line (inside side line) The front service line The back line (the outside one, all the way at the back) On your side of the net, you have two service courts: your right service court, and your left service court. The same is true for your opponent. The doubles service courts are slightly different. They are wider, because they use the outside side line (remember: the doubles court is wider); and they are shorter, because they use the inside back line. That’s what the inside back line is...
How to perform a forehand badminton smash: Adopt a forehand grip.(GC011 link) Stand sideways with your non-racket side facing the net. Shift your weight to the back foot, bend your elbow, lock your wrist and prepare to swing forward. Make contact with your shuttle at the highest point possible and swing your arm forward with force, straightening your elbow as you hit the shuttle. Jerk your wrist downwards when the racquet is in contact with the shuttle, to give the shuttle more power to angle it downwards towards your opponent’s court. Do a follow through with your racquet. credits:myactivesg
The forehand grip is mainly used for forehand overhead shots. It’s an easy grip to learn, and also provides a useful reference point for learning the other grips.
