Badminton Grip Tutorial: 4 different Grips you should use in your game!

In this video i will show you the 4 most common grips in badminton, explain when and why you should use them, and also give you three helpful tips, how to improve your badminton game and the power and precision in your shots with a better grip.
--Overview-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here a short overview about the different sections and topics in the video:
0:00 Introduction
0:27 The V-Grip
1:40 The Thumb Grip
2:18 The Backhand Grip
3:34 The Panhandle Grip
4:40 Grip Variations
5:32 Three Tips for a better Grip
9:03 Outro
There are so many different ways of holding the racket and you should use your racket always depending on the situation you are in. The four most common grips are:
1: The V-Grip:
The V-Grip is especially useful for shots where you want to generate a lot of power, like a smash or a clear.
2: The Thumb grip:
The Thumb Grip helps you to generat power on your backhandside with the fingers, when you only have litte time for the swing of the racket, like a drive or netkill.
3: The backhand or bevel grip:
The backhandgrip helps you to use the thumb and fingerpower, as well as forearmrotation at the same time, and it is mainly used for backhand overhand shots and backhanddefence in doubles.
4: The Panhandle Grip:
Like the thumb grip on the backhandside, the panhandle grip is good for creating power with a short swing but on the forehandside.

[@surajkhatkar3791]

Tobias, this is the best video on grips I have ever come across. Most people tell only about V grip and Thumb grip. I have seen many players try using Thumb grip for backhand clear which turns into a drop or not using pan handle grip as required in some cases coz of which shuttle goes outside the court. Thanks for this amazing video, brother.

[@Seeedric]

Really helpful. Been trying to up my game recently (Albeit casual play with intermediate to advanced level friends). I also really hate losing, so this was definitely a good review!

Thank you very much Tobais. I am a college student in India, and I love badminton. This video of yours has corrected my forehand, and I cannot express in words how good it feels to me, because I'm so passionate about badminton. I also saw your smash and clear video, and I have to say that your channel is by far the best KZbin badminton channel. The patience with which you explain, the clarity, the details and the step-by-step explanation feel like an elder brother teaching the game. Can't thank you enough. Looking forward to more of your videos, and wishing the best for you.....

[@neothaka]

again, excellent tutorial! It's so easy to take this kind of information for granted, but loosening your grip and shoulders in preparation is so fundamental to reaction it's not even funny. Also, pointing small things like relax and tighten just before impact are very useful tips. I've honestly never used the panhandle grip or the front/back in-between grip. I reckon those are slightly more advanced grips. I still find myself too often losing grip on the handle when switching FH and BH.

[@ultrakool8086]

Very nice video with great editing and production quality like always yet, I just have one remark it would be helpful to “zoom in” on where your fingers are on the racket to see exact finger placement from all angles for the different grips.

[@ronn0008able]

Really clear explanation on the different grip, perfect for beginner. Its is one of the best i have seen so far on youtube. Just one thing i think u forget to mention: for forehand clear/smash, the neutral grip shld be adjusted ever so slightly so that the racket head hits the shuttle squarely, else the shots will end up to have some slices in them. Coach lee jae bok also talked about this in one of his video. Keep up the good work, will definitely share your video to my friends who are just getting into badminton.

[@lam-tungnguyen1823]

I have watched a lot badminton coaching videos throughout the years and I must say your videos are simply the best! I wish I would have seen your videos years ago because a lot of crucial things are not mentioned by the other coaches and I had to figure them out myself. Many talented players and coaches naturally acquire the correct techniques simply by training a lot and they actually don‘t know why their shots are so powerful and precise. Being a German probably helps you in approaching the game systematically and scientifically ;) I wish you a successful coaching career!

[@tobiaswadenka8435]

Thank you very much! I think you are right that a good technique can come natural especially for motorically gifted players, but knowing how the movements work is in my eyes very important for coaches and a lot of players can also benefit from it. Still it is important to see the whole picture and not always make things to complicated or go into details when it is not nescessary. So there i think "being german" can also be a challenge but i try to find the balance ;)

[@lam-tungnguyen1823]

@@tobiaswadenka8435 I am not sure about the other players but I personally like everything explained to me thoroughly:) I only have time to play once a week. That's why I always try to learn more about the game offline to further progress. In fact, I managed to improve my game a lot compared to other players who play much more regularly. Although you mentioned in this video that one should have a loose grip and only tighten it at the last moment, you did not explain why. I might be wrong but here how I see it. The force generated by the racket is largely determined by the racket head speed (F=m*v^2). By tightening the grip at the very last moment, you inject more speed to the racket head. Combined with the pronation of the forearm one can generate much more power than a big racket swing alone. Moreover, the angle when the racket contacts the shuttle also affects the force. That's why one has to change the backhand grip almost to a panhandle grip when the shuttle is much far behind, just to keep the angle right. Hopefully I am not talking bullshit and I am happy if you can correct me :) Viele Grüße aus Wien.

Thank you for this excellent badminton grip tutorial! Your clear and concise explanation, coupled with the detailed demonstrations, made it easy for me to understand and implement different grips in my game. I appreciate how you highlighted the key points and provided useful tips throughout the video. Your passion for badminton is evident, and it's inspiring to see such dedication to helping others improve their skills. Looking forward to more tutorials from your channel! I was wondering if you could consider creating a new KZbin video focused on workouts specifically designed to enhance the power of badminton shots. Specially smash and backhand shot . I believe your expertise would make for an excellent resource. Thank once again, Tobias!!!

V-Shot: smash, drop, and clear shots Thumb: backhand drive Backhand grip: to defend smashes or backhandgrip Panhandle grip: forehand drive

[@lindajaramillo900]

I am a fan sir and i liked and hit the sub button

[@marsamuk]

Great video! Do I have to flip racket 180 degrees when switching from V grip to thump grip? Thanks

[@Impulsage]

Great video, would like to hear more about changing grips :) Also if you're doing the forehand, backhand exercise in the forehand it's more about the panhandle instead of the v grip right? Because i feel like the v grip is not too optimal for drives and hitting in front and i'm kinda struggling to switch and differentiate between v-grip and panhandle, they feel really similar.

[@tobiaswadenka8435]

Yes exactly. When you hit in front of you panhandle or thumb grip are way better than V-Grip
