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?

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.

[@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 ;)

This is great for when I haven’t played badminton in a long time, it helps me refresh. Plus, I love how a backhand grip is like your holding a pan but panhandle grip is just alone😂

[@Lisa-el7zo]

Thank you, this was so helpful!!! I'm a beginner and I only knew forehand and backhand grip. Instead of using bevel and panhandle to get the racket at an angle, I rotated my wrist... Now I know why those shots always felt awkward and weak 🙈

yeah I'm a decent tennis player but I'm starting badminton for school season this year. though tennis let me hit the shuttle without much struggle it does make my shots very weird because I keep using a tennis swing and grips

[@anshumankakralia7542]

[@HarjoteSingh]

So at 1:58, you talk about getting into the bevel grip from a backhand grip, you turn the face clockwise with your thumb on the bevel, but clockwise is only for left-handed people, whereas right handed people turn the face anti-clockwise. The explanation got me confused, but the demonstration at 3:12 shows changing the grip with a right hand, so I was able to understand it from there.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Glad to help 😀

[@wc1hater]

What I normally do when I teach this is to go "backwards from the point of contact": hold the racket up for them where the eventual point of contact will be, THEN have them wrap their fingers around the handle, in the most comfortable way, THEN play around with movement to try to figure out the best stroke that will result in that end position. In a way, the four grips are the RESULT of this exercise, and really there are as many "grips" as there are ways to hold an octagonal prism. Of course I'll usually nudge a little and show them the "right" patterns. Plus, knowing the four standard grip positions gives the beginner an "anchor point" in that it teaches two things: (1) grip is a variable you can and should play with, and (2) force you to explore/adopt stroke patterns that are more optimal, preventing injury prone strokes resulting from the "panhandle lock syndrome". I think it's great to learn bottom up and build good patterns, but also I think it's good to go top-down as well and understand WHY you are doing what you're doing.

[@akagetobimaru1994]

I played Badminton for about 3years now... I've always do the backhand grip...even smashes... But changing grips between matches like you said is acquired automatically as you get more experience

[@netuser258]

For the forehand grip you show what it looks like from the back side of the hand. How does it look from the inside of the hand? That would really help to see where exactly the thumb joins up with the index finger. Should thumb be higher than index? Should thumb be under index? Should thumb be parallel to index? Should thumbs just not exist? LOL, okay maybe we do need thumbs but you get my point. Thanks in advance.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Yes thumb slightly under your index finger if you were looking at it that way! We'd be screwed without our thumbs 😂

[@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

[@BadmintonInsight]

In singles yes, probably more on the bevel grip!

[@sudarshanalwara]

Wonderful video - as always! Very crisply explained about the grips. Looking forward to more such tutorials. Grips 2 - what amount of thumb pressure to be applied to execute the shots - net shot, smash, clear. 😄 Also, would it be possible to post a video about the possible injuries that could cause if incorrect ways of shots are being played? For instance, why there could be an issue with the elbow - a possibility of incorrect way of executing a forehand smash - etc.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you so much! 😊 The amount of pressure will vary, especially depending on the speed of the shuttles. You will need much less thumb power if the shuttles are really fast, and you should instead use your thumb and fingers to create the control. Do you mean a video like our 'Most Common Injuries' we recently posted on our channel? :)
