Using a left-handed trainer is a bit confusing to me to apply. I had to slowed the playback speed to 0.5x to understand this video and yet still not clear 100% :( Yet I grew up in an Asian country which so many times won badminton's world cup & I played badminton since i was little. Perhaps I have to watch this video about 5-6x to completely understand the video. Overall, I like the ways how they explain things.

[@jonlim604]

I have seen MANY grip tutorial videos and this is BY FAR the best one. Your instructions are clear, concise, and I love the video editing (brilliant idea with the frying pan!) Thank you!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Wow, thank you very much Jonathan! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@Brandon-vg9bh]

I've been playing badminton for 2 years, and I always remember my tutor telling me that last time, that the racquet does not "spin" during your play, the only correct grip is the forehand grip. This is what happen to me, that forcing myself to stay on forehand grip no matter how the shuttle coming, causing me really hard to return the shuttle sometime, because all I remember is, only forehand grip is the correct grip. After this video, now only I acknowledged that, you guys did "spin" the racquet on your hand while playing depends on the direction of the shuttle, thats really answered my mystery of the century.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Haha glad we could help!

I don't know why I have been playing badminton without learning about the grip types for the past few months. Thanks to this clear video, I immediately went from weak/painful shots to generating lots of power just by using the right grip.

[@BadmintonInsight]

That's great to hear! Glad the video was useful :)

[@tomgravett7744]

Thanks guys! I've come to badminton late in life, but really love it!! I've spent the last couple of years trying to undo all the bad habits that I'd self-developed over the previous three. Grips was what I started with and, as you say, with perseverance using the right grip becomes natural quite quickly. What I still find I have to be conscious of though is keeping my grip relaxed until the point of hitting the shuttle - my default is still to be "tense" and "tight" - getting there though 🙂 thanks again for all your helpful tips 👍

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thanks for the great comment Tom, and we completely agree! Keeping the grip relaxed is something that all badminton players have to continually remind themselves, unless you are Kevin Sukamuljo ;)

Hi Badminton Insight....i love your videos and gain a lot of knowledge from it. I have a question: How do we know if the grip is too big or too small for our hand?😬

[@badmintonfeeder]

Another well thought out video. How do you know when the 'right' grip is being used and what makes "Grips fun" ..... (sometimes players say it feels uncomfortable the grip that works, is that usual?)

[@BadmintonInsight]

Playing good shots makes grips 'fun'! And there's often no definitive right or wrong but these are just a guide in helping people to play better shots from certain positions of the court!

In singles yes, probably more on the bevel grip!

THE TRANSITIONS ARE CRAZY

[@t0msula]

@Badminton Insight The tip for the Bevel grip, where you're advising to turn the racket clockwise is only applicable for left handed players right? As in for the right-handed players it should be counterclockwise? If a right-handed player turned the racket clockwise from the backhand grip, the angle would be 180° wrong

[@njsrinivasan8447]

Hi, nice video. I have a question. Where do we hold the grip. Is it on the lower part of the handle or on the top part of the handle. And does it differ based on the shot? Like for serving you hold it high and for other shots lower?.. and it it to be held loose...and if you hold loose then when to grip it tighter?

Hey guys, great vid! However, I have a question tho. At 2:00 Greg said we should start from a backhand grip and go clockwise, but at 3:14 he kinda went with anti-clockwise from a backhand grip. Is it because of the dominant hand or am I being silly with the clockwise thingy :(?

[@matchedbettingchronicles288]

I want to be able to explain bevel grip to people. Just to clarify, when you do backhand grip and then you say turn it clockwise, I am assuming this for left handers only? For right handers we would tell them to turn anti clockwise right?

[@SmileyDave89]

Great video! Short and sweet, good advice! I have a query though... net kills? Forehand especially . I find these quite tricky when opponents play good, close, defensive blocks to the net... Forehand grip? Bevel? Pan handle?

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you so much! :) Some top players use the panhandle grip (especially the Koreans), this is just the way that they're taught. Generally, we could recommend the forehand grip, as it's quicker to change to a BH grip from here if the shuttle comes across to that side! Hope that makes sense :)

[@SmileyDave89]

@@BadmintonInsight thats good thank you guys for the videos! If you need a video idea then perhaps a how to score points against strong defences? Where to smash to generate short lifts/loose blocks and forehand net kills on tight spinning net shots. I find the "swipey/ fast winderscreen wiper " technique very tricky and my usual pan handle "pop" is only effective when it's loose. Not when it's tight. Seeing pros practice this could be good for us mere mortals...😁

[@BadmintonInsight]

Hi Badminton Insight, you both are left handed players and I'm asking, when you wrap a new grip, twist as same as right handed or chance direction wrapping? There's a difference of feeling?

Hi Max, yeah we change the direction! Don't think it has much of an impact though!

[@djtoneo]

Great video! So, would you say that the bevel grip is the neutral grip? Is this the grip I want to be set in prior to returning serves and shots from my opponent? Thanks!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Each grip is for different circumstances- what you set up in often depends on what shot you’re expecting from your opponents! (Eg if you’re in defence you’d set up in a BH grip because they hitting it back to you in defence is most likely so you’d want to be in a BH grip). Hope this makes sense!
