    The Officials of The Game

    Umpire ➡️The ‘main judge’ for the particular badminton game. He/she has the power to overrule any

    The Hand Grip Techniques

    The Hand Shake Grip Technique

    Your thumb should be pressing comfortably against one of the wider surface of
    the racquet grip while the rest of your hand holds the racquet as if you’re shaking
    a person’s hand. The way you hold your racket can affect the flexibility of your
    wrist.
    2. Backhand Gripping Technique

    The key to perform strong backhands depends on how you hold your racquet. The true power of a
    badminton backhand shot comes from the push of your thumb. A backhand stroke requires you to USE
    YOUR THUMB. So you should now press your thumb on the wider surface of the badminton grip. Relax
    your index finger and move it closer to your middle finger.
    3. Forehand Grip Techniques
    The forehand and backhand grip looks almost the same. There’s only one slight difference – the
    placement of your fingers.Your thumb does not necessarily have to press against the wider surface of
    the badminton grip for a forehand stroke. Your index finger should be the one “in control” in a forehand
    stroke. This simply means using your index finger to push the racquet forward while doing a forehand
    stroke.

    The Basic Rules and Regulation

    4. The server is allowed only one trial to put the shuttle into play.
    5. Matches consists of winning two out of three games. The winner of the
    previous game starts the serve in the next game. If a third game required, players
    will switch courts again.

    6. It is a fault if:

    a. a player reaches into the opponent's court and strikes the shuttle before it has
    crossed the net.

    b. The player touchs the net with any part of his body, clothing , or racket.
