When playing badminton, some methods and techniques are needed.

Many people are not very clear about how to play badminton. Before doing this sport, you need to have a good understanding of all aspects of it, so that when you do it, you will know how to do it best. However, when playing badminton, you cannot do it casually, you must master the best techniques.

How to play badminton:

The first is the grip. Mastering the correct way to hold the racket is the first step to playing badminton well. Because only with the correct grip can you give full play to the role of your fingers and wrists when hitting the ball.

The preparation posture before hitting the ball. There are two types of ready postures, one is the posture for receiving the serve (singles and doubles), and the other is the posture for preparing to hit the ball after it is served. When receiving a serve, you should stand with your feet forward and backward, with your left foot in front and your right foot behind. Place your feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart, with your heels lifted. The preparatory action after receiving the serve should be to stand with both feet parallel, with the feet equal to the width of shoulders, with the right foot slightly forward, half a foot more than the left foot, and both heels slightly raised, ready to start at any time.

The standard action of swinging the racket to hit a high ball. I think it's best for everyone to practice the swing first. The correct swing action can enable you to fully realize your potential, save energy and reduce injuries.

Before hitting the ball, first turn sideways with your right foot behind you, using your right foot as a support point. Throw your arms, then swing the racket again. When swinging the racket, the elbow should be used as the axis, and the upper arm should drive the forearm to swing backward. The ball is mainly hit by the swinging speed of the forearm and the strength of the wrist and fingers, and of course the strength of the waist rotation. Pay special attention to turning sideways, with your left foot in front and your right foot behind. Keep your center of gravity on your right foot when exerting force. When smashing the ball, it is recommended that friends jump with one foot to smash the ball. This will help you start quickly after smashing the ball.

The relationship between swing speed and power. Power is important when swinging the racket, but it is not the absolute factor. The reason lies in the speed of swinging the racket. The faster the swing speed, the greater the power generated. In many games, we can see that some athletes are thin, but they throw the ball with great force and the speed of the ball is as fast as a bullet. So, speed plus strength is perfect.

The role of the non-clapping hand. Some friends ignore the role of the non-racket hand, thinking that the hand is raised when hitting the ball just to look good or for photo-taking, and it doesn't matter where it is placed. The non-racket hand plays a very important role when hitting the ball. It can help you maintain your balance. At the same time, swinging it to one side when hitting the ball can help you turn around and increase your waist and abdominal strength. Don't underestimate it.

The angle of the racket and the choice of hitting point when hitting the ball. When hitting the ball, choose different angles and hitting points on the racket face to achieve your hitting purpose, and the effect of hitting the ball will be different. When hitting a high ball, the racket face is slightly upward, the hitting point is above the head, and the arm exerts force forward and upward. When hitting a flat high ball, the racket face is facing forward, the hitting point is slightly forward, and the arm exerts force forward and upward. When smashing the ball, the hitting point is in the upper front, and the racket face is pointed downward when hitting the ball, while the forearm, wrist and fingers are used to swing downward with speed and strength. When hitting a smash or drop shot, control the racket face with your fingers, hit the right or left side of the butt, press down with your wrist and fingers to change the direction of the ball, and pay attention to maintaining consistency in your movements.

Through the above introduction, you will have a good understanding of how to play badminton. When playing badminton, you can follow the above methods, but it should be noted that when doing such exercise, it should be done in moderation. Excessive exercise will not have any benefits to any aspect of your body.
