I wish every "new" Badminton player could have the chance to start their career watching this tutorial. I've started playing Badminton 8 months ago and I just learn some crucial stuff here. Really clear explanations, thanks !!! Greetings from France
i just learned the correct grip last year and i started playing when i was really small and brought the wrong grip along the way. I'm 21 years old rn. I wished someone teached me the correct grip before.
Someone commented that adduction is towards midline - Not sure if that was meant as a correction to what I was saying about wrist movement for backhand? But that is what I’m saying. Anatomical movements are based on an initial posture of the body which is called the Standard Anatomical Position which is a standing position with arms by your side and palms turned forward. When you move the hands towards and away from the body (midline) this is ADDuction and ABDuction respectively. So when I’m showing how to move the wrist for backhands with my arm out in front of me, it is still ADDuction even though my wrist is moving away from my body in this particular demonstration. It is the name for that movement as it would be in the Standard Body Position. Just like elbow flexion is when you bend your elbow in dumbbell curls. Anytime you bend the elbow no matter where you have your arm (like scratching your back from above) it’s still elbow flexion.
Omg this is such a great video, especially for the forehand grip my index finger was too low and I didn't think of using it as a lever like the thumb for the backhand. Now I should get more power and control with the forehand thanks.
I have to say thank you Prit. Nobody told me about changing grip for forehand and backhand with the 180 degree flip of the racket. I'm going to practice that. No wonder my backhand shot is bad.
zigen9999 no problem. Practice grip change as much as is humanly possible. Without shuttle. Underhands (UH) and overheads (OH). Then do soft and slow drills like slow drives from forehand (FH) to backhand (BH). Have someone feed you with multi shuttles throwing to the net so you can practice lifts, from FH to BH. This will get you going and you’ll see a huge difference in your play. Good luck.
Thanks for sharing Prit, I remember watching your videos on scissor cuts short or all types of smash, But seems likes it's from the playlist now. Can you please upload it again?
Thanks again for this wonderful explainer video. Just now I realised my mistake. Instead of doing flexion, I was swinging my racket too close to my body. With proper flexion, I guess, I should be able to hit the shuttle far outside of my body.
Personally I find that by sliding the finger down as you suggest as in a more “hammer grip” works better for overall power and control and allows the wrist to flex more fully. So you’re right. Glide the index finger down. In fact, although in the video I have my index finger quite high, in reality, it’s closer to the other fingers in a more “hammer” style grip.
Thanks, I enjoyed this video. It confirmed some things I have been trying to develop after deciding to retrain my basic racquet skill after decades of pan-handling. At 36, I'm experiencing first-hand my fading capacity to retrain muscle memory and develop new techniques, with a focus on learning to use pronation and supination in my basic shots. One thing I've failed to find to date on TH-cam, however, is slow motion (high speed camera) footage of exactly this kind of thing, including on-court demonstrations. There's some celeb slo-mo stuff about, but not enough to be able to observe a capable and technically accurate player performing all the basics. It would be wonderful if you could produce this in a format and style similar to what you've been doing. I'd love to see a whole rally, or even a game, with a high speed camera tracking a good player closely, perhaps from multiple angles. I particularly appreciated the bit about flipping the racquet 180 degrees. I've been wrestling with how I should be doing it, and often get caught out playing the incorrect backhand technique you demonstrate in this video because I didn't manage to switch grips in time (or at all). I've been particularly concerned about how to switch grips when playing near the net, racquet high, anticipating a kill. I've been told you can maintain either a backhand or pan grip for all 180 degrees across the net, but I'd prefer to have a forehand grip on my right-hand side in case I want to generate cross-court power. In this position, flipping the racquet 180 degrees to change sides seems like a waste of time, when it seems possible to rotate the handle only 90 degrees in the other direction to achieve the same.
I understand how the backhand works and how to do it correctly but i still don't know why it doesn't have any power to it. I think it might be because i don't know how to place foot...
At the point of contact for a forehand smash, do your fingers take a more hammer style grip as they squeeze down onto the handle? I find trying to swing full power with my index finger quite high up as in the video, causes the racket to move around in my hand as its accelerates.
Im not sure if i understand this correctly, index finger is used to hit the shuttle for forehand side and thumb is used to hit the shuttle for backhand side ?
Ozzo correct. They act as levers. Imagine breaking a stick with both hands. Like you’d use your thumbs to increase the force. That’s backhand. Forehand uses index finger because it’s wrist flexion. Think of how you use a fork. The index finger is higher in the form for more leverage and force.
@@PritPachu you mean praveen jordan ? Yes. Thats what i mean. I thought they are not using index finger. The index just hold the racket, and use rest of fingers to hit the shuttle.
I tried stretch my index and pinky finger for forehand grip, then use both to hit the shuttle so that i can hit like you did, is it correct ? . Backhand grip also similar, i stretch my thumb and pinky, then use both to hit the shuttle. . I found i can hit shuttle more clean without slicing using these. Thanks for this great video. I watched countless time to understand.
The index and thumb basically act as levers. Don’t overstretch these. Just be natural. The slice is probably because your racket is turned too much to the inside or you’re not pronating your wrist enough. Flatten your racket out a bit by turning the handle in your hand. Stay tuned to my channel. My website is coming soon and you’ll be able to connect with me more closely to get advice
Zacky Zack I’m sponsored by Oliver. The racket in this video is the Entrex 90. I now use the Microtec 09. See website link to Oliver products and discount codes in description.
Alan Chan there’s no written rule to it. It’s how I was taught and find it easier. Also the friction from fingers as you switch helps to spin the racket and helps you to feel and adjust where in the grip to hold it for that particular shot in that moment. But again, whatever works for you. I just say “never” because I personally don’t like not spinning it and not sure how many top players do it your way. Also, your grip in defence in singles will be slightly on backhand so thumb is already on the correct side and only requires a slight manipulation. In doubles, your grip is mainly on the backhand unless you’re x-court from the smash and the centre line is on you forehand. It all comes down to what you’re used to and how you’ve learned it. Some skills can be different from standard practice and don’t adversely affect your game. Again, if it works for you keep going!
Billy Binton I’m not saying it’s wrong, why the aggressive reply? Bad day at work? It was an honest question I asked. And no, below waist level shots are clearly not the same and require different grips. But what of shots to your chest level left and right close to your body or just in front of you? You can play these shots using the same racket face with slight adjustments to the grip, and don’t need to flip the racket face around. That’s what I was asking.
Richard H 180° for complete forehand to backhand. Use one side of the racket face for forehand and the other side for the backhand. However, it could end up less than 180° depending on to what extent you need the backhand grip which depend on the shot you’re playing. Racket has to be loose in the hand.

@@PritPachu thanks! I often confused with these because some said use other finger to increase power
Ozzo maybe what they mean by that is go from relaxed hand to tight hand at the point of impact. Hand referring to fingers.
Ozzo look at the picture of Kevin Sanjaya in my community post. Open hand in smash prep. Uses fingers to grip racket handle on impact.
@@PritPachu you mean praveen jordan ?
Yes. Thats what i mean. I thought they are not using index finger. The index just hold the racket, and use rest of fingers to hit the shuttle.

1 more thing, if i hit shuttle using only index finger for forehand, and thumb for backhand, i tend to slice the shuttle. I dont know why.
The index and thumb basically act as levers. Don’t overstretch these. Just be natural. The slice is probably because your racket is turned too much to the inside or you’re not pronating your wrist enough. Flatten your racket out a bit by turning the handle in your hand.

Why is it important to flip the racket 180 degrees when switching backhand and forehand? I can switch grips without flipping it and feel it’s quicker.
Alan Chan there’s no written rule to it. It’s how I was taught and find it easier. Also the friction from fingers as you switch helps to spin the racket and helps you to feel and adjust where in the grip to hold it for that particular shot in that moment. But again, whatever works for you. I just say “never” because I personally don’t like not spinning it and not sure how many top players do it your way.

Some skills can be different from standard practice and don’t adversely affect your game. Again, if it works for you keep going!
Billy Binton the point wasn’t so much about the precise degrees 45 or 180. The point is using the opposite face of the racket for backhand / forehand.
Billy Binton I’m not saying it’s wrong, why the aggressive reply? Bad day at work? It was an honest question I asked. And no, below waist level shots are clearly not the same and require different grips. But what of shots to your chest level left and right close to your body or just in front of you?

Richard H 180° for complete forehand to backhand. Use one side of the racket face for forehand and the other side for the backhand.
