[@anamaykane9355]

Shots played with a flat trajectory with minimum racquet swing usually with the racquet held vertically..Like which is played a lot in doubles... Getting the power in those shots without the back swing.

[@flawlesss4t4n51]

Good explained video and a very great camera view for the shots! Can you also explain what type of strings you use and how many kilograms? Atm i use BG 80 Power with 12 Kg but i don´t know if this is the best way or if another combination of string and kg will lead me to another level...would apreciate help. Thanks to your awesome videos, i´m always waiting for the next and i´m sure to sign in the e-learning program this month.

[@BadmintonFamly]

I use BG80 with 14 Kilo👌🏻

[@flawlesss4t4n51]

[@anmolprasad9121]

In forehand grip thumb is lower than the index finger . Sir please don't mind😀, you are the former world champion.

[@BadmintonFamly]

Haha 😆

[@rogersterling254]

On impact which fingers do you tighten and how does this affect your grip (in forehand overhead shots e.g. smash and clear)?

[@BadmintonFamly]

You sont tighten the grip you just smoothly “touch” the shuttle so you take away the speed to create the deception👌🏻

[@avalanche9142]

Sorry for this amateur question, but what is the correct grip when starting rotating for a smash and also at the very last moment of hitting a smash shot? Should it be the forehand grip all the way or does it start in a forehand grip and end in a hammer( panhandle) grip as the result of rotation? Especially I am curious what is the correct grip at the very last moment when hitting the shuttle for a smash.

[@BadmintonFamly]

Yes correct you can use the forehand grip but also change just a bit to the hammer grip👏🏻💪🏻

[@ArjunNarayananSatchidana-mz1jk]

Thomas sir first of all lots of love from India for such a wonderful video but could you please specify how loose must our fingers be? Just touching the grip or medium tight loose combination

[@BadmintonFamly]

Medium tight sounds right 💯

[@ArjunNarayananSatchidana-mz1jk]

@@BadmintonFamly thank you sir

[@JMRichard92]

If we compare the forehand grip you show (with the "V" between thumb and index finger laying on the bevel) and the forehand grip in the badminton basics series of the Shuttle Life channel, we can see they look pretty different (the V in their case is on another part of the racket). Why is that? Is it basically the same and has no importance or do you think one way is better than the other?

[@BadmintonFamly]

Yes i can see the difference but in general you can do both, but also depends on the ankle of your wrist. I use a more twisted(rotated) ankle on the wrist than they do. My wrist is very flexible and i like to do this so it is easier for me to add power to my shots where you rotate in the forearm and a bit in the wrist to get a clean hit.... Think it is individuel what you like the best 😉

[@JMRichard92]

@@BadmintonFamly Thanks a lot! It's just that sometimes a different wrist position seems to affect my shots a lot and I change it all the time, making me very inconsistent. I'll try to just choose one and stick to it!

[@drawdownfx4415]

Hey u could use bevel grip too for high serves and forehand lift right?

[@BadmintonFamly]

Njjyyooo not really, i would r recommend the forehand grip for sure 💪🏻

[@sayantanhalder4703]

Having thumb over index finger ?? Or over middle finger which one is most effective ??

[@shinygreninja4650]

Should the index finger be above the thumb?

[@BadmintonFamly]

It depends on what shot you do. Forehand push for example has the index higher up, but the backhand drive the other way around.

[@TimmyVision]

Why do some people put the thumb resting on the index finger?

[@Kemenyan73]

So generally the back of hand is pointing a bit upwards to 1 o clock position rather than sideway ( 3 o clock ) for Right handed players .

[@upward_onward]

My forehand lift does not go high and to the rear court. What might be wrong ?

[@BadmintonFamly]

Hmm hard to say, sorry impossible for me to know what you do wrong🙃

Hi, My forehand technique is terrible, (can't do overhead clear), I am following various tutorial but nothing seems to be working for me. What advice would you give me to improve my technique? Lastly, what is the music being played at the background?

[@BadmintonFamly]

Maybe you need to look at your forearm rotation and the swing movement. We have a great program for that on badminton Famly+💯 Can’t remember the music🤔

[@Shahfarman777]

Which string and tension should I use for better shot

I'm a very beginner badminton player : instead using forehandgrip i always using hammergrip for hitting forehandball because hammergrip is more comfortable for me to hit the shuttle..i know this is wrong..my question is : how to make forehand grip more comfortable for my arm? My name is sani and i come from indonesia

[@anantaastikbajpaie2269]

You have to practice it by holding the forehand grip and rotate it to 180 degree,with full flow,and use it ,and practice it daily.❤️🇮🇳

[@namitakumaridas1870]

Hi coach I sometimes struggle when I hit a forehand clear, I intend to hit down the line or near it but sometimes it goes to the mid court Why does that happen?😭😭

[@BadmintonFamly]

Hmm tricky to say but can be that you rotate to much in your forearm if you are right handed and play the clear from around the head side😀

[@arjunjm2968]

Even though I'm decently built my shots lack power, people skinnier than me hit with more power. What am I doing wrong ?

[@BadmintonFamly]

Tricky to say, so many things that needs to work together to work properly🙃

[@arjunjm2968]

Yeah you said the power is generated from the push away of the racket foot from the ground, rotate the hip, lead with elbow, pronate forearm, hit at the highest point. Does this work for every forehand shots or just the smash?

[@abdullahahmad184]

@@arjunjm2968 every forehand OVERHEAD shot uses the above technique tips IF you want power. I.e. only for smash and clear

[@abdullahahmad184]

Won't the thumb being at same height as index finger reduce rffect of finger power?

[@BadmintonFamly]

Yes a bit but for control shots it is good, then you can tighten the grip more when adding power💪🏻

[@fijtips112]

For power shots the thumb moves down the grip so it's roughly between the index finger and the middle finger.

I can't understand the difference between (when and where to use) forehand grip and hammer grip
