The Absolute Basic

The aim of badminton is to hit the shuttle with your racket so that it passes over the net and lands inside your opponent’s half of the court. Whenever you do this, you have won a rally; win enough rallies, and you win the match. Your opponent has the same goal. He will try to reach the shuttle and send it back into your half of the court. You can also win rallies from your opponent’s mistakes: if he hits the shuttle into or under the net, or out of court, then you win the rally. If you think your opponent’s shot is going to land out, then you should let it fall to the floor. If you hit the shuttle instead, then the rally continues. Once the shuttle touches the ground, the rally is over. In this respect, badminton is not like tennis or squash, where the ball can bounce. You must hit the shuttle once only before it goes over the net (even in doubles). In this respect, badminton is not like volleyball, where multiple players can touch the ball before sending it back over the net.

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 Choose a Badminton Racket

The racket is your most important badminton equipment. The type of racket you choose should match your playing ability. Here are four things to consider when it comes to choosing a racket. 1. Weight of the racket Lightweight badminton rackets are recommended for beginners. They should weigh between 85g to 90g and have a lower balance point (Point 2). Such rackets are usually easier to control. Lightweight rackets also allow for quick stroking speeds and recovery. You will be able to deliver quick serves and switch to different strokes easily. Lightweight rackets are also easier on the wrist and shoulders, reducing the chances of injuries. 2. Balance Point On the other hand, seasoned players may opt for heavier rackets with higher balance points. This basically means that the racket is heavier at the head. Such rackets will allow you to channel more power into your smashes. However, they are not as easy to control due to the extra weight. Hence, such rackets are not suited for eve...
