10 FUNDAMENTALS SKILLS OF BADMINTON 1.) GRIP In badminton, a grip is a way of holding the racket in order to hit shots during a match. The most commonly used grip is the orthodox forehand grip. A grip is also the wrapping around the handle of the racket.

11 2.) STANCE The footwork will be a chasse on the side and the sequence will be left foot into the right before the right foot is taken out sideways away from the left. The final step with the racket leg should allow you with your extended arm and racket to reach the shuttle. Keep your upper body still and try not to drop the head.

12 3.) FOOTWORK The footwork will be a chasse on the side and the sequence will be left foot into the right before the right foot is taken out sideways away from the left. The final step with the racket leg should allow you with your extended arm and racket to reach the shuttle. Keep your upper body still and try not to drop the head.

13 4.) SERVE A correct service is when a player hits the shuttlecock with their racket over the net to the opponent's side -- without the shuttle getting stuck in the net or exceeding the boundaries of the badminton court -- with some part of their feet in contact with the court surface.

14 5.) SMASH The smash shot is hit with power and speed downward into the opponent's court. The angle and the steepness of the shuttlecock's trajectory make it hard for the opponent to retrieve and return.

15 6.) CLEAR/ LOB A clear is a high overhand shot where the player hits the shuttlecock from one end of the court to the other end. It is the most fundamental shot in badminton and should be learned before any other shot.
