Question

Explain the term Forehand grip in badminton.

Answer 1

Hold the racket by the shaft in the left hand with the face of the racket perpendicular to the floor and shake hands with the grip. The player slides their hand down so that the fatty part rest comfortably against the butt of the handle. There will be a 'v' shape on the thumb and index finger. Grip the handle lightly, with fingers spread slightly. The thumb wraps around the handle on the left side. The grip should be relaxed when the player is not stroking the shuttle. Tighten the grip when the player is ready to stroke the shuttle.
