EQUIPMENT IN BANDMINTON

1.RACKET This is the most basic equipment of badminton, without a racket we can not strike the shuttlecock. So we must need a racket for playing badminton and it starts at a very low cost all over the world if we talk about beginners, but it can cost so high if you are buying a racket with high tension, high-quality frame, and string.



2. SHUTT LECOCK Another essential equipment for badminton is the shuttlecock. You have rackets but does not have a shuttlecock, the game still can’t be played. Just after buying a racket, you need to buy a shuttlecock. Mostly shuttlecock comes in 2 variants, feathered and synthetic.



3. BADNME TINTONAnother important piece of equipment for badminton is the net. You can play badminton with a racket and shuttlecock but it would not be a fair play because there are a lot of rules in badminton that require a badminton net. If you are playing it casually for fun then maybe you do not need it but if you want to be a professional player in the future then you must play under a badminton net.



4. BASDHMO EINSTON Badminton is not only played with hands, it requires the full support of your feet. Every time if you are playing badminton, you have to move quickly to hit the shuttlecock. That’s why you need a pair of highly comfortable and flexible shoes, that will allow you to move quickly all around the court without any trouble.



5. BAAPDPMA RINETLON You must need a comfortable t- shirt and shorts that do not hinder your movement while hitting the shuttlecock. Usually, a cotton t- shirt with a round neck and short is preferred.

6. BAGDRM IPINTONA grip made of cloth or synthetic fiber or any other material must be required for the badminton racket handle. It absorbs the sweat of your hand and provides a drier feel.

7. SO CKSAlways wear a pair of socks that are made of cotton because cotton absorbs the sweat of feet and does not let your feet slide inside the shoes. We do not recommend using nylon socks as they do not absorb sweat.

The Basic Skills in Badminton

GRIP The right grip in holding the racket is really important to achieve control on shots while avoiding the cahnces of a wrist inury. A proper grip will allow you to play both backhand and forehand strokes effortlessly.

BACKHAND AND FOREHAND GRIP Push the index finger forward while playing forehand strokes. Push the thumb forward while playing backhand strokes.

STANCE The stance is how you stand while playing bandminton, both in between a rally and before the serve. A stable and correct stance will bring a huge change in the results due to easier movement. There are 3 types of stance .

ATTACKING STANCE It is used to get into position before playing an overhead forehand stroke. To stand in the attacking stance turn your body facing the sidelines with racket leg behind and both legs shoulder- width apart. Now raise both racket and non-racket arms to generate the power to attack the shuttle on its downward trajectory.

DEFENSIVE STANCE To defend the opponent’s smash, you need to be prepared with the defensive stance. Face the body to the net and place your racket in front at waist height, slightly pointing forward. You can keep the non-racket arm as comfortable while ensuring a better balance.

NET STANCE This stance is to be ready for the opponent’s return after playing a net shot. To play this shot, place your foot on the racket side forward while keeping a non-racket foot at the back. Place the racket in front of the body, slightly above waist height while raising the non-racket arm. Shift the body weight slightly forward to be ready to pounce forward.

FOOTWALK Badminton is played on a court with limited space, and the athletes have to take care of the same while playing. Footwork plays a huge role in helping with an effective and organized movement on the court. In fact, some coaches even raise footwork to prime importance over other skills.

TIPS FOR PROPER FOOTWALK •Always remember the base •(starting point).Move only 2-3 •steps backward.Shuffle only 1 •step sidewards.Move only 2-3 steps front.

SERVE Service is among the most basic skill that you need to master in Badminton. Also, you should ensure to make a legal service otherwise it might lead to penalty points.

HIGH SERVE High serve aims at the back-end corner of the opponent’s court. Ideally, a good high serve results in the shuttle dropping steeply downwards at the back end of the court. In fact, a high serve is presented to opponents having the ability to executing a strong smash. You can always expect a lob or a drop from your opponent as a reply to a properly executed high serve.

LOW SERVE Unlike high serve, the low serve aims to the front of the court. The objective is to let the shuttle fly just above the net landing in the front corner of the court. In this case, your opponent has the opportunity to dash forward and smash the shuttle to you if the execution is poor.

SMASH Smash is the most potent and powerful stroke in badminton which naturally turns out to be the most familiar term to all. The shot is basically to hit the shuttle powerfully towards the opponent’s body or downward on the court. A perfectly executed smash has no defense. This badminton skill is the most aggressive and technical one. Fundamentally there are 3 types of smashes:

FOREHAND SMASH The forehand is an overhead smash which is similar to the action of throwing a ball. You shouldn’t have a problem playing this stroke if you can throw a ball well. This skill in badminton acts as a game- changer for beginners.

BACKHAND SMASH This is one of the toughest strokes in badminton, and even experts face difficulty in playing the stroke. Still, it is important to practice and get the technique to rise in the skill level. To execute this stroke, getting the backhand grip is extremely important. Also, it is equally important to return back to stance. Backhand smash skill in badminton requires years of practice and consistency.

JUMPING SMASH A forehand smash with a timed jump added to it counts under jumping smash. This skill in badminton is the most glamorous of all.

DROPSHOT Amongst all the basic skills in Badminton, the drop shot is the most technical one. Badminton Drop Shots are delicate badminton shots that can win you points that aim at scoring points in deception. Played with both backhand and forehand, these are used to move the opponent to the frontcourt. This creates space in the midcourt and backcourt for you to exploit. There are slow and fast drop shots, played judging the situation. This fundamental badminton skill if developed properly can turn an intermediate player into an expert.

CLEAR OR LOB he lob shot in Badminton can be imagined as a shot with an inverted ‘U’ trajectory. It is normally played from the forecourt with an aim to lift or ‘lob’ the shuttle over the opponent. The idea is to land it as near to the baseline as it is, at an angle that is impossible to clear. This is similar to the drop in challenging the opponent with sudden motion backward this time. It can also be executed by both backhand and forehand. This generally results in the creation of space in the front and midcourt, opening plenty of opportunities. It is one of the basic badminton skill one can learn with practice without joining coaching.

RULES OF THE GAME A match consists of the best of three games of 21 points. The player/pair winning a rally adds a point to its score. At 20-all, the player/pair which first gains a 2-point lead wins that game. At 29-all, the side scoring the 30th point wins that game. The player/pair winning a game serves first in the next game. A badminton match can be played by two opposing players (singles) or four opposing players (doubles).

A competitive match must be played indoors utilising the official court dimensions. A point is scored when the shuttlecock lands inside the opponent's court or if a returned shuttlecock hits the net or lands outside of the court the player will lose the point. At the start of the rally, the server and receiver stand in diagonally opposite service courts. A legal serve must be hit diagonally over the net and across the court. A badminton serve must be hit underarm and below the server's waist height with the racquet shaft pointing downwards, the shuttlecock is not allowed to bounce. After a point is won, the players will move to the opposite serving stations for the next point. The rules do not allow second serves.

During a point a player can return the shuttlecock from inside and outside of the court. A player is not able to touch the net with any part of their body or racket. A player must not deliberately distract their opponent. A player is not able to hit the shuttlecock twice. A 'let' may be called by the referee if an unforeseen or accidental issue arises. A game must include two rest periods. These are a 90-second rest after the first game and a 5-minute rest after the second game.

Officials The referee is in overall charge of a badminton tournament or championship(s) of which a match forms part, to uphold the Laws of Badminton and Competition Regulations in the BWF Statutes. Individual singles matches require a total of six officials: an umpire who is in charge of the match, the court and its immediate surroundings four line judges (two for each side of the court positioned at the baseline) who indicate whether a shuttlecock landed 'in' or 'out' on the line(s) assigned a service judge Doubles matches require a total of eight officials. This is as above but an additional two line judges are sometimes added (one for each side of the court positioned at the doubles service line).
