EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES OF BADMINTON

SHUTTLE- Shall be made of natural and/or synthetic materials. The flight
qualities of the shuttle regardless of the materials used, should be similar to
those of a natural feathered shuttle with a cork base covered in a thin coating
of leather. Feather shuttle is a type of shuttle that have 16 feathers of goose
or duck that is fixed in the cork ( made from the bark of a cork free) the shuttle
should be between 4.74 and 5.50 grams in weight. On the other hand, non-
feathered shuttle is made up of synthetic materials. The measurement and
weight of an a non- feathered shuttle should conform with the laws.

SKILLS IN PLAYING BADMINTON

TYPES OF GRIPS IN BADMINTON

*The swing motion of our racket arm is referred to as a stroke. It’s not
even a shot. Any badminton shot’s (clear, smash, and drop shots) is
proportional to how well you can execute your stroke.

There are two basic skills

Forehand grip- the players thumb does not necessarily have to press
against the wider surface of the badminton handle for a forehand
stroke.

Backhand grip- requires the players thumb to be positioned against the

wider surface of the badminton handle.
 (its important not to grip your racket too tightly. Relax your muscles and
softly grip your racket. It will be much easier to transition the two grips if
you do this).

 Type of strokes in playing

a. Overhand forehand stroke- this is perhaps the most frequent badminton

stroke, and many beginners find it easy to use, even for stronger
badminton shots. This is the stroke that usually generates the most
power. This requires forehand grip.
b. Underarm forehand stroke- this stroke does not require a lot of
strength. A quality shot can be produced with a light swing combined
with the correct technique. The underarm forehand stroke requires a
forehand grip.
c. Overhand backhand grip- this stroke is similar to an overhead stroke the
only differences is the swinging of the racket. The player should swing
his racket from across his body taking a full swing. Most players this
stroke is their weakness besides it demands a backhand grip.
d. Underarm backhand stroke- in contrast to other badminton strokes the
underarm backhand stroke is quite easy to execute. It is usually
performed when the opponent tries to make a drop shot to your free
hand area in the front court. This stroke also requires backhand grip to
the player.

DIFFERENT STRIKES IN BADMINTON

Clear shot- a high shot which usually targets the back alley allowing more time
for the player to recover.
Drop shot- a deceptive move used to trick the opponents believing you are
going to execute a clear or a smash and often targets forecourt.
Smash shot- it is a powerful stroke fired from a high point straight downwards
your opponent’s court.
