Badminton How many grips are there for badminton? What s the difference?

Take the right-handed racket as an example.

1. Forehand grip: Hold the racket stick with the left hand, so that the racket surface is perpendicular to the ground, the right hand gently holds the racket handle in a handshake action, the fingers are relaxed, the palm is not close to the handle, leave space, and the thumb is placed between the index finger and the middle finger. It is mostly used for forehand high balls, flat high balls, lob balls, smash balls, net balls, etc.

2. Backhand grip: On the basis of forehand grip, twist the racket with the thumb and index finger, press the thumb on the wide surface, the index finger, and similarly, the fingers are relaxed, and the palm should not be close to the handle.

It is mostly used for backhand high and far balls, flat high balls, lob balls, net balls, etc.

The grip method of the tiger's mouth is aimed at the wide side and the thumb is against the narrow side: at this time, the wrist can be abducted to the maximum angle, which is a special grip method for hitting the ball when the opponent hits the ball to the deep position of his backhand and his pace is not in place.

Gripping the racket is the basic action of badminton, the improper way seriously affects the hitting and power, people who can play badminton may not necessarily hold the racket in the right way, the key is to relax the fingers before hitting the ball, and hold the racket at the moment of hitting the ball, there is a short pause, generating explosive force.

In fact, the grip is very flexible, no matter what kind of grip method should be changed in time according to the specific situation, the key is to relax the grip when swinging the racket, and hold the ball tightly at the moment of hitting.

There are generally two types of grip methods: forehand grip and backhand grip, and there are slight differences between different movements. Each of these is described below.

1) Forehand grip.

The correct way to grip the racket is to first hold the racket shaft with the left hand, so that the racket surface is perpendicular to the ground, and then open the right hand so that the lower part of the palm (thenar of the racket) leans against the bottom of the racket handle, and the tiger's mouth is facing the narrow side of the racket handle, the little finger, ring finger, and middle finger are naturally brought together, and the index finger and middle finger are slightly separated, naturally bent and attached to the racket handle.

Before hitting the ball, the grip must be relaxed and natural, and the grip of the racket should be tightened at the moment of impact.

2) Backhand grip.

Generally speaking, there are two kinds of backhand grips: one is to turn the racket frame outwards on the basis of the forehand grip, the thumb is stretched out and attached to the wide surface of the racket handle, and the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger are brought together. The other is to hold the racket with the forehand to turn the racket frame outward, with the thumb attached to the edge of the racket handle, and the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger together.

When holding the racket with the backhand, there should be a gap between the palm of the hand and the handle, so that the grip is conducive to the flexible use of wrist strength and finger strength.

Forehand grip in front of the net:

The flexibility of gripping the racket may change slightly from time to time depending on the angle of the opponent's incoming ball and in order to control the exact landing point. For example: the grip of the forehand in front of the net:

On the basis of holding the racket in the forehand, the thumb, index finger, middle finger and ring finger are slightly released so that the handle of the racket is away from the palm of the palm, the thumb is obliquely attached to the upper small edge of the inside of the handle, and the index finger is slightly extended forward so that the second finger strap is obliquely attached to the wide surface of the outside of the handle.

The grip of the backhand in front of the net:

On the basis of holding the racket in the forehand, the thumb, index finger, middle finger and ring finger are slightly released, the handle of the racket is left in the palm of the hand and the racket is slightly turned inward, the thumb is attached to the upper edge of the inside of the handle, and the third joint of the index finger is attached to the lower edge of the outside of the handle.

Forehand catch hook grip in front of the diagonal net:

On the basis of holding the racket in the forehand, the handle of the racket is slightly turned outward, the thumb is obliquely attached to the wide surface of the inside of the handle, the second knuckle of the index finger and the base of the other three fingers are attached to the wide surface of the outside of the handle, and the handle is not attached to the palm.

The grip of the ball in front of the diagonal net with the backhand catch:

On the basis of holding the racket in the forehand, the thumb, index finger, middle finger and ring finger are slightly released, the handle leaves the palm, and the handle is rotated inward at the same time, the inner side of the second knuckle of the thumb is attached to the upper small edge of the inner side of the handle, the second knuckle of the index finger is attached to the lower middle wide surface of the handle, and the remaining three fingers are naturally grasped on the lower middle wide surface and the wide surface of the inside of the handle.

After understanding the above correct grip method, you should compare your previous habitual grip, if there are the following wrong grips, they should be corrected as soon as possible: fist grip, that is, a grasp; Hold your index finger straight and press it on the upper part of the handle; The tiger's mouth is attached to the wide surface of the handle; The end of the handle is exposed too long.

The correct grip is easy to learn, but it takes a certain amount of effort to master in practice. Because when the essentials of hitting the ball have not been mastered, the grip is often easy to get out of shape, so that the movement returns to the original wrong habits. Therefore, when practicing hitting the ball, you should always remind yourself to check whether the grip is correct, and after a period of time, the correct grip habit will be formed.

Of course, there is only one way to hold the ball, and there should be several ways to catch the ball. To play the ball well, it is necessary to use the correct grip of the racket, which is the most correct and labor-saving method summed up by countless sports scientists.

There are forehand grips and backhand grips. The forehand grip is the oblique side of the feather racket handle, and the backhand is the side where the thumb just holds the wider handle.

There are two kinds of forehand and backhand, the difference is mainly for the convenience of power and there are some small changes, and the backhand is clenched into a fist and thumbs up.

There are only two types: forehand and backhand.

The correct grip methods for badminton mainly include the following: forehand basic grip, backhand basic grip, backhand oblique grip, hammer grip, etc.

1. Basic forehand grip.

The forehand basic grip is to place the inside of the outer knuckle of the thumb on the broad side of the handle, and the other four fingers wrap around the handle from the other side of the handle, and grasp the handle. The index finger is positioned slightly higher than the position of the thumb (near the position of the head), and the mouth is aligned with the oblique edge on the side of the thumb.

2. Basic grip of the backhand.

The backhand basic grip is to place the front of the distal knuckle of the thumb on the wide side of the handle, and the other four fingers together around the handle along the adjacent narrow edge, and grasp the handle. At this point, the position of the thumb is higher than that of the other four fingers. Because the thumb is very important in the backhand grip of the batting technique, the BWF textbook refers to this grip as the thumb grip, which is usually used to deal with the incoming ball in the backhand position in front of the body, such as pumping, pushing, pounce, etc.

3. Backhand oblique grip.

The backhand diagonal grip is an evolution of the backhand basic grip, where the thumb is placed not on the wide edge of the handle, but on the wide-sided bevel. The BWF textbook refers to this grip as an angle grip, which is usually used to handle the backhand position's picks, hooks, putts, high balls, smashes, lobses, lobs, etc.

4. Hammer grip.

This grip is evolved from the basic grip of the forehand, in which the index finger and the other three fingers on the same side are no longer separated, but held together, and the position of the thumb is above the index finger, because it looks like a clenched fist, so it is also called a fist imitation scrambling grip.

5. Pot-type grip.

This grip is an evolution of the basic grip of the forehand, where the muzzle is no longer aimed at the thumb side bevel, but at the index finger side bevel, or even the wide edge of the backhand side. The BWF textbook refers to this grip as a pot grip, which is often said by coaches to be the wrong grip in badminton teaching, but in practice, it is necessary to use this grip method. For example, a forehand pounce or a push in front of the body.

The ball has moved far past the body and requires a backhand return with a full back.
