MODULE 1
Expand your Knowledge
Badminton is a great sport for all ages and levels of ability. It is a safe,
fun, low impact sport for beginners and sports enthusiast. Badminton
activities develop all-round physical skills including: • eye hand coordination;
• catching and throwing; • stability and balance; • speed and agility – the
ability to quickly change direction; • jumping and landing skills; • decision
making/tactical.
Origins of Badminton
Although the exact origins of badminton are unclear, games based on

a shuttlecock and a battledore were played in China, Japan, India, Siam and
Greece over 2000 years ago. Between 1856 and 1859 a game known as
‘battledore and shuttlecock’ started to evolve into the modern game of
badminton at “Badminton House”, the Duke of Beaufort’s country estate in
England. Similar games were played in Poona India around this time and a
badminton code of conduct was drawn up in 1877. The aim of battledore and
shuttlecock played at “Badminton House” was to keep the shuttlecock in the
air for as long as possible by hitting the shuttle between two or more people.
The reverse is true today. The aim now is to finish a rally as quickly as possible
by scoring winning points against your opponent.
In 1893, the Badminton Association of England was formed to

administer badminton internationally from England.
Badminton around the World
Badminton is played worldwide, but like most world sports, it is more

popular in some regions of the world. Badminton is most popular in Asian
countries including countries like China, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan,
Thailand, India and Chinese Taipei. These countries produce many world
class players. Badminton is also very popular in Europe and countries like
Denmark, England, Germany, Poland and France also have world class
players. In Pan America, badminton is emerging as a popular sport. With the
2016 Olympic Games being hosted in Rio, Brazil, badminton will develop
much more in popularity in Pan America. Badminton is also played widely in
regions in Oceania and Africa. Badminton has grown and become popular
because it can be played by all ages and at all levels. At beginner level it offers
early satisfaction, with rallies which are easily achievable without much
technical expertise. At the highest level however it is a very dynamic sport,
MODULE 1
with shuttles being smashed at over 350 kph and players displaying the
highest levels of athleticism.
Olympic Games Sport Since 1992, badminton has been a Summer

Olympic Games sport. Altogether 15 medals are available in Olympic
badminton – gold, silver and bronze for each of the five disciplines: • men’s
singles • women’s singles • men’s doubles • women’s doubles • mixed doubles
Badminton players from each region – Asia, Africa, Europe, Oceania and Pan
America compete at the Olympic Games.
Badminton Basics
Badminton is:
• a net game.
• played on a rectangular court.
• a volleying game, with rallies beginning with an underarm serve.
• a game that has five disciplines – singles (men/women), doubles
(men/women and mixed). Singles badminton involves serving
diagonally into a long, service box. Rallying then continues on a
long court with the border on the first side line.
Doubles badminton involves serving diagonally into a shorter, wider service

box than in singles badminton. After the serve, rallying takes place on the
whole court area.
MODULE 1
For players with a disability, court sizes are adapted according to the category
of player under a classification system. For more details of this, download the
Laws of Badminton from the BWF website.
Facilities and Equipment
The equipment and facilities of badminton includes the racket, shuttlecock,

court, posts and the net.
1. Racket – Badminton racket is quite light and can be made of wood.

aluminum. metal or synthetic materials such as graphite or carbon. A
synthetic racket is quite popular now because of its extreme lightness and
strength.
A badminton racket weighs roughly 98-100 grams (3 1/2 oz), and is 68 cm.
in length.
PARTS OF THE RACKET
• Stringed Area – is extended to hit the shuttle. It is of uniform pattern

and does not exceed 280 mm. (11 in.) in length and 220 mm. in width.
• Head– bounds the stringed area.
• Throat – connects the shaft to the head.
• Shaft – connects the handle to the head
• Ferrule – firmly connects the shaft and the handle.
• Handle – is intended for a player’s grip
• Butt – is located at the tip of the handle
MODULE 1
• Frame – includes the head, the throat, the shaft and the handle. It is
no more than 680 mm. or wider than 230 mm.
2. Shuttlecock – is the official name given to the shuttle or bird. It is made
up of 16 goose feathers and is firmly fixed in a leather covered cork head.
It weighs from 4.74-5.50 grams. It may be made of feathers, plastic or
nylon.
TYPES OF SHUTTLECOCK
• Feathered Shuttle – consists of 16 goose feathers. Its length is 62-70

mm. It must be fastened firmly with thread or other suitable materials.
• Cork or Base – shall be 25-28 mm. in diameter, and is rounded on the
bottom.

equipment.
3. Court – although courts can be set outdoors, competitive badminton is

generally played indoor where the wind and other elements will note affect
the shuttle. The official badminton court is 20 ft. wide, while the singles
court is 17 ft. wide or it is measured 13.4m long and 6.1m wide. For singles
the court is marked 5.18m wide. The lines marking out the court are
easily distinguishable and colored white or yellow.
• Back-court – also called rear court. The back-court is 8 ft. of the court,
including the back alley.
• Baseline – also called back line; back boundary line at each end of the
end of the court parallel to the net and the doubles long service line.
• Long Service Line – in singles, the back boundary line; in doubles, the
line 2 1/2 ft. inside the back boundary line. Any serve landing behind
this line is out.
• Mid-Court – the middle third of the court from the short service line to
the back third, a distance of about 7 1/2 ft.
MODULE 1
• Short Service Line – the line 6 1/2 ft. from and parallel to the net. A
serve must land on or behind it to be legal.
4. Posts – the posts should stand 1.55 m. ( 5 ft., 1 in.) in height from the
surface of the court. They must be placed on the doubles sidelines. For singles
as well as for doubles, they must also be firm to take the necessary tension
when the net is strained across to its full height. There should be no gap
between the post and the net through which a shuttle could pass. This can
be ensured by the use of hooks down the inside of the ports and a draw-cord
along the bottom of the net.
5. Net – At all times, this should be strained tightly so that its height from the
floor is 1.524 (5 ft.) long at the post. A measuring rod, should be kept by the
umpires chair to facilitate regular testing to ensure the net is still and its
correct central height and has not sagged.

MODULE 1
Badminton Trivia
Badminton is the world's fastest racquet sport. The shuttlecock, made of cork and
goose feathers, can whip across the net as fast as 260 kilometres per hour.
Badminton can firmly stake its claim to be the worlds fastest racket sport, with
smashes reaching speeds of up to 332 kph. Chinese men's doubles star Fu Haifeng
of China set the official world smash record of 332 km/h (206 mph) on June 3, 2005
in the Sudirman Cup in Beijing.
The Badminton World Federation conducted speed trials for the first time at one of
its major events, with microwave sensors recording the speed of smashes on the
main court at the world mixed team championships. The fastest smash recorded in
the singles competition is 305 km/h (189 mph) by Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia.
While world number two Kenneth Jonassen of Denmark has recorded the fastest
smash for a singles player at 298 kph.
And with women’s singles player Huang Sui hitting at 257 km/h, tennis star Andy
Roddick's world-record serve of 246 kph is some way off of badminton's blistering
pace.

Learning Content
A. Basic Skills in Badminton
1. Badminton Grip
Starting with a correct Badminton Grip is the foundation of Playing Badminton.

Not properly holding the racket will decrease your stroke's power and accuracy. Your
shots will be limited, and therefore you will not enjoy the game as much, let alone
improve. Below are the two basic types of Badminton Grips.
MODULE 1
Forehand Grip
- This grip is used to hit shots that are on the
forehand side of your body and around the
headshots.
- Hold the racket head with your non-playing
hand so that the handle points towards you.
- Your racket face shall be perpendicular to
the floor.
- Place your playing hand on the handle as if
you are shaking hands with it.
- There shall be a V shape in between your
thumb and your index finger.
- The racket handle shall rest loosely in your
fingers for greater flexibility.
- Can try shortening your grip and place it nearer to the shaft to increase control
and accuracy when serving and to hit from the forecourt and midcourt.
Backhand Grip
- This grip is used to hit shots that are on
the backhand side of your body.
- Hold the racket as you would on a forehand
grip.
- Turn the racket anti-clockwise so that the V
shape moves leftwards.
- Place your thumb against the back bevel of
the handle for greater leverage and power.
- The racket handle shall also rest loosely in
your fingers.
- Can try shortening your grip and place it
nearer to the shaft to increase control and
accuracy when serving and to hit from the
forecourt and midcourt.
Possessing a correct Badminton Grip is like having a good head start in a race. Don't
lose out and make every effort to improve your game.

✓ Practice bumping the shuttle on the air and apply proper grip as you receive
the ball.
MODULE 1
Great! You were able to do it independently.
Rate your Performance
20 bounces = Very Good
15 bounces = Good
10 bounces = Fair
2. BASIC STROKE
Overhead Forehand Stroke
The overhead badminton forehand stroke is very common and is used most often in
badminton.
If you’re a beginner, learn how to perform this stroke first before proceeding to learn
other types of badminton shots.
In badminton, this stroke generates the most power. The power of a badminton
forehand stroke comes from correct technique, NOT how much strength you exert
into a swing. The larger the swing motion, the more momentum generated. Hence,
more power.
Therefore, the KEY to generate power in any badminton shot is to make a complete
swing in your strokes.
MODULE 1
1. Preparation Phase
Adopt the forehand grip and the attacking stance The picture
above shows you the position an attacking stance.
2. Aiming Phase
Your body should face sideways, not the front. Move your racket
arm towards the back and extend your chest to the widest extent
possible to ensure you can do a full swing. Inhale (breathe in) as
you stretch/extend your chest to the widest extent. This helps you
feel more comfortable.
Lift up your non-racket arm (see picture above) as you stretch your
racket arm towards the back. The non-racket arm plays an
important role in maintaining body balance. Body balance is VERY
IMPORTANT in badminton. Without good balance, there’s no way you can execute
the correct technique for this stroke.
3. Preloading Phase
When you’re about to perform your stroke, stretch out your non-
racket arm (straighten it). Stretch out your non-racket arm in a
natural motion. Avoid swinging it forward. Once your non-racket
arm is straightened (see picture at left), swing your racket arm
forward.
Your swing should be one smooth downward motion. Perform

a full arm swing to generate maximum power. As you swing your
racket forward, your non-racket arm should naturally return to
your body (see picture at left).
MODULE 1
After you make contact with the shuttle, FOLLOW THROUGH with
the swing. DON’T stop half way! In other words, swing all the way
down even after you’ve hit the shuttle. Also, as you swing your
racket, slightly rotate your waist from the side to the front. This
helps give extra power.
When you complete a full swing, your body should be facing the
front (no longer facing sideways). Your racket should end up at
the lower front area of your body.
Your racket arm should follow through further and the end
position will have your racket arm slightly downwards.
OVERHEAD BACKHAND STROKE
Generating Power
• Correct backhand
technique: Similar to the
forehand, you make a
complete backhand swing to
generate the power to hit
strong backhand shots.
The backhand swing pattern

for badminton is very
different from
tennis/squash.
• Squash/Tennis: The backhand is performed in such a way that the tennis

ball is hit from the side of your body.
• Badminton: The correct technique for a backhand stroke will allow you to
hit the shuttle at your backhand area when it’s in mid-air (above your
head).Therefore, the swinging pattern for badminton is very different.
It’s only with correct technique that you’ll be able to generate a lot of power
as well as perform quality backhand shots.
MODULE 1
1. Preparation and Aiming Phase
Adopt the backhand grip.
You would be facing the front of the court at your initial

position. From there, slowly turn your body facing to the back
(see picture at left). Position yourself for a backhand.
While turning your body to the back, raise your racket to the
position similar to the picture at the left.
2. Pre-loading Phase (Phase to Accumulate Power)
Keep your racket arm as close as possible to your body (see

picture at left). This is to ensure a complete backhand swing can
be performed.
Remember not to grip your racket too tightly. Gripping your

racket too tightly limits your wrist movement.
3. Execution
Just when you’re about to perform the backhand stroke, your

body should already be facing the back of the court.
Note that the execution phase should be 1 smooth swinging

motion.
This part is important. Raise your racket arm to the position

similar to the picture above BUT DO NOT STOP at this position,
it should be smooth and fast swing until you hit the shuttle.
MODULE 1
You’ll still have to complete your swing even after you hit the shuttle. FOLLOW
THROUGH with your racket. Following through helps with accuracy. It’s not so much
for power, the power came from the preloading phase and from the flick of your wrist.
Therefore, as you follow through with your swing, there’s no need to add more power
or else you’ll lose balance.
UNDERARM FOREHAND STROKE
The badminton underarm forehand stroke is performed when you take a shuttle in
front of you (normally when your opponent hits a drop shot to you).
It’s fairly easy to inject power into underarm strokes (compared

to overhead strokes). Therefore, you do not need to worry about failing to generate
the sufficient strength into your underarm strokes.
Power of the Underarm Forehand

• Swing Motion:
The correct badminton underarm forehand swing pattern is important if you
want to hit quality badminton shots and maintain good body balance.
This stroke does not require a lot of strength. Since underarm strokes
are usually performed at the front of the court, not much strength is
needed to perform a baseline clear (hitting the shuttle to the back of
the court). Therefore, a gentle swing motion, combined with correct
technique, is all that is needed to produce a quality shot
• Wrist Action: Your wrist action plays an important role in contributing to the
power in your badminton underarm forehand. GENTLY flick your wrist
towards the direction you want the shuttle to fly
• Gripping: It’s important that you use the forehand grip to perform an
underarm forehand stroke. Make sure you do not hold your racket too tightly
or you’ll limit the movement of your wrist.
From a ready position, lunge forward to your forehand area
with your dominant leg (see picture above).
MODULE 1
2. Pre-loading Phase (Accumulating Power for Your

Stroke)
As you lunge forward, raise your racket to the height where

you’re going to hit the shuttle. When you’re about to
commence your swing motion, your dominant leg should be
at the front, supporting your body weight.
Be at the position (similar to the picture above) when you’re

about to perform your underarm forehand stroke.
3. Execution
Commence your underarm swing. Your swing should

be 1 smooth motion until your racket is swung
upwards.
As you’re about to hit the shuttle, flick your wrist to

generate power. However, only perform a gentle flick of
your wrist or else you might hit the shuttle the shuttle
long (outside your opponent’s baseline).
In the picture above, the underarm stroke has already commenced but yet to make
contact with the shuttle. Take note of the position of the wrist as it’s important for
performing the correct wrist action.
As you hit the shuttle, bend your body slightly forward to make sure you maintain
body balance (especially when you lunge very far forward).
After you hit the shuttle, allow your racket to FOLLOW

THROUGH. Continue your swing motion even after you hit
the shuttle. This does not help with power, but enables a
better quality flight trajectory of the shuttle. Besides,
following through after hitting the shuttle increases the
accuracy of your shot. Notice the wrist rotation in the
picture.
UNDERARM BACKHAND STROKE
The badminton underarm backhand stroke is fairly easy to perform compared to

other badminton strokes.
This stroke is usually performed when your opponent hits a badminton drop
shot to your backhand area at the front of the court.
MODULE 1
Generating Power
• Swinging Motion: You don’t need to swing too hard for

an underarm stroke. A gentle underarm swing is sufficient
to send the shuttle right to the back of the
court. However, correct technique is still important to provide
you with good body balance. The tutorial below shows you the
correct way of performing a badminton underarm backhand
stroke.
• Wrist Action: Most of the power of this stroke comes
from the flick of your wrist. But you don’t need a strong flick to
send the shuttle to your opponent’s baseline. A gentle flick is
enough. It’s the gentle underarm swing and the gentle flick of your wrist that
works together to generate the power for this stroke.
• Gripping Technique: Since it’s fairly easy to produce power to hit a high
clear, I find it’s not necessary to switch to a backhand grip. Use the forehand
grip to perform a badminton underarm backhand stroke. However,
remember NOT to grip your racket too tightly or else your
wrist action is limited.
Since you’ll be hitting the shuttle IN FRONT of you, lunge

forward to your backhand area. Your racket should always be
in a ready position (see picture at left). Your dominant leg
should always be at the front when you hit an underarm
stroke.
2. Pre-loading Phase (Phase to Accumulate Power)
Raise your racket to the position similar to the picture above.

At this point, you’re preloaded and ready to perform your
underarm backhand swing
3. Execution
Swing upwards. Ensure that you complete your swing. This means that upon
contact with the shuttle, continue with the swinging motion.
MODULE 1
A gentle swing will do the work. You don’t need to exert too
much strength into your stroke or you might lose body
balance.
Just before your racket makes contact with the shuttle, flick
your wrist to generate the power for your underarm stroke.
The picture at the left shows you the position right after a
completed badminton backhand underarm stroke is
performed. Notice that the wrist is pointing upwards in the picture above. This means
that the player have flicked her wrist during the swing.
At the same time, FOLLOW THROUGH with your swing even after you hit the shuttle
(see picture at the left).
