How Do You Grip A Racket In Badminton?
Part of learning how to play badminton is learning how to grip the racket in the proper manner. Beginners need the basics, so use the following as your basic guide to learn how to grip a racket in badminton. Hold the badminton racket in your left hand if you are right handed. Point the racket straight out in front of you with the face of the racket vertical to the ground. Open your right hand with all five fingers spread on the face of the racket. Move or pull your right hand back towards your body along the shaft of the racket as you grasp the grip area in a “hand shake” grip. Spread your fingers slightly so that your right index finger wraps around the grip area to the right and wrap your thumb around the grip area to your left. This should feel comfortable, not tight. You want to have flexibility in your wrist area, so that when you swing the badminton racket, it feels like an extension of your arm.
