Badminton is one of the world racquet games that tends to slip below the radar. This really is a shame as watching badminton is a most pleasurasble way to spend the odd hour or 8. Although the players do get up to terrific speeds, the very nature of he shuttlecock is one gently floating on the breeze, despite the thwack it gets on the first tragectory. As you might imagine, there are all sorts of rules for making play fair and safe. Taking the most basic forehand grip as an example, this is generally referred to as the V-grip. It looks as though you are about to shake someone’s hand, with the V shaped between the thumb on one side of the handle, and the closed fingers wrapped loosely around the other side of it. Looseness is an important factor for all 4 Badminton grips as holding too tightly resricts the player’s ability to change grip and position when needed in the middle of a rally. Too tight a grip also inhibits the ability to add control and power to a shot.
