TABLE TENNIS
1. What is table tennis?

 Table tennis also called (trademark) Ping-Pong, ball game similar in principle to lawn
tennis and played on a flat table divided into two equal courts by a net fixed across its
width at the middle. The object is to hit the ball so that it goes over the net and
bounces on the opponent’s half of the table in such a way that the opponent cannot
reach it or return it correctly. The lightweight hollow ball is propelled back and forth
across the net by small rackets (bats, or paddles) held by the players. The game is
popular all over the world. In most countries it is very highly organized as a
competitive sport, especially in Europe and Asia, particularly in China and Japan.

2. History of Table Tennis

 The game was invented in England in the early days of the 20th century and was
originally called Ping-Pong, a trade name. The name table tennis was adopted in
1921–22 when the old Ping-Pong Association formed in 1902 was revived. The
original association had broken up about 1905, though apparently the game continued
to be played in parts of England outside London and by the 1920s was being played
in many countries. Led by representatives of Germany, Hungary, and England, the
Fédération Internationale de Tennis de Table (International Table Tennis Federation)
was founded in 1926, the founding members being England, Sweden, Hungary,
India, Denmark, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Austria, and Wales. By the mid-1990s
more than 165 national associations were members. The first world championships
were held in London in 1926, and from then until 1939 the game was dominated by
players from central Europe, the men’s team event being won nine times by Hungary
and twice by Czechoslovakia. In the mid-1950s Asia emerged as a breeding ground
of champions, and from that time the individual and team events (for both men and
women) have been dominated by athletes from China. The popularity of the game in
China was notable for giving rise to so-called “Ping-Pong diplomacy,” a period
during the 1970s in which Cold War tensions between China and the United
States were eased via a series of highly publicized table tennis matches between
athletes from the two countries. The first such event—held in Beijing in 1971—is
widely credited with paving the way for U.S. Pres. Richard Nixon’s historic visit to
China the following year. In 1980 the first World Cup was held, and Guo Yuehua of

China won the $12,500 first prize. Table tennis became an Olympic sport in 1988,
with singles and doubles competition for men and women.

3. Equipments Used

 Table tennis equipment is relatively simple and inexpensive. The table is rectangular,
9 by 5 feet (2.7 by 1.5 metres), its upper surface a level plane 30 inches (76 cm)
above the floor. The net is 6 feet (1.8 metres) long, and its upper edge along the
whole length is 6 inches (15.25 cm) above the playing surface. The ball, which is
spherical and hollow, was once made of white celluloid. Since 1969 a plastic like
celluloid has been used. The ball, which may be coloured white, yellow, or orange,
weighs about 0.09 ounce (2.7 grams) and has a diameter of about 1.6 inches (4 cm).
The blade of a racket, or bat, is usually made of wood, is flat and rigid, and may be
covered with a thin layer of ordinary stippled, or pimpled, rubber, which may be laid
over a thin layer of sponge rubber and may have the pimples reversed. Whatever
combination is used, each of the two sides of a paddle must be different in colour.
The racket may be any size, weight, or shape.

4. Basic Skills

● Forehand -The fundamental skill for playing table tennis is the forehand drive or a
forehand. A rookie player needs to learn this basic skill to play. When the ball comes
to the paddled side of the body, this shot is necessary. You need to hit the running ball
while rotating your body and the other arm. A forehand shot increases the power, and
the opponent gets a powerful knock. While playing this shot, you need to put your
thumb upwards.
● Backhand -The second fundamental skill is to know the backhand drive or the
backhand. When the ball comes to the other side of the paddled hand, this skill is
required. You can also play this shot when the ball comes straight at your body. In
both of these scenarios, your footwork and stance are important with swinging the
racket. You can also play this shot when the ball is fast, as you don’t need to apply
force.
● Serving -Serving in table tennis is important, as your opponent will get the
opportunity the hit the ball after an easy serve. In serving, you need to bounce the ball
on your side and then to the other side. After every point, players start the new point
with a serve. There are so many variations of a table tennis service. You can serve
with both forehand and backhand serve. Players who can swing the ball are the best
servers.

● Pushes -There are mainly two strategies players follow. One is to play the ball with
full force and the other one is to play a short ball. So, when a short ball is played, you
need to get closer to the table and lean forward. You don’t need to apply force to the
ball as your body movement will automatically apply force to the ball. You can use
this skill regardless of which side of your body the ball is.
● Flicks -The flicks are the skill to return a spin shot. Suppose your opponent plays a
shot where the ball has a spin and is also close to the net. You may confuse this skill
with the push. But here, a motion from your wrist and elbow is needed to deliver the
ball to the opponent’s side. Also, you don’t need to apply full force to the ball, as a
force can push the ball outside the table.
● Spinning -In table tennis, there are mainly four different spins. Spin is very important
in a table tennis match, as it is a tricky shot that can challenge the opponent. No
matter whether you want to play defensive or offensive, you need to learn to spin the
ball.
● Loops -This is one of the modern table tennis basic skills. Recently table tennis
players have acquired this skill to put a spin on the ball during the offense. Players
play this shot by swinging their racket from low to high to put swing and force. The
style of the shot generates topspin and makes it harder to play for the opponent. When
there is a monotonous game running, then there is a need for loops.
● Footwork -There are two types of footwork needed in a table tennis match. Players
need to move front and back and also left and right. Also, table tennis professionals
are agile, quick, and masters at moving anywhere. If you want to play a competitive
game, then you need to move quickly. You also need to get back to your original
position after playing every shot.
● Stance -For a game where footwork and moving fast are necessary, the stance is also
one of the most important things. First, when you take the service, you need to put
your other leg in the front and the paddled leg in the back. Also, this is the basic
stance. This is the stance you need to follow when you play a short ball. And when
you have to defend, put your legs parallel to play both forehand and backhand shots.
● Speed -With time and experience, you should be able to be agile with your
movement. If you want to pay at the highest level, then you need speed both in your
legs and hands. For example, a professional player can volley the ball at 70mph.
Though recreational and casual games are different, I am talking about competitions.
The game’s pace is fast, and sometimes you will need help to keep up with the game
while watching a professional game.

Singles Play
I. General Rules
 The choice of playing position at the table and order of service are determined by the toss
of a coin. If the winner of the toss prefers to have first choice of playing positions, the
opponent then has the choice of whether to serve first or receive first, and vice versa.
 The change of service takes place after 5 points have been scored. A point is normally
awarded when the play of a service is concluded. The receiver then becomes the server and
the server becomes receiver, and so on, after each 5 points until the end of the game or the
score is 20-all. Whenever the score becomes 20-all, the receiver becomes the server and the
server the receiver, and so on after each point until the end of the game.
 At the start of a new game, the player who served first in the previous game becomes
receiver and the receiver becomes server and so on, alternating after each game.
 The players exchange ends after each game, and if play consists of more than one game, in
the deciding game of the match the players change ends when one player reaches a score of
10 points.
 A game is won by the player who first scores 21 points with a 2-point margin.
 A match consists of the best two (2) of three (3) games.
II. Service
 A good service is delivered by projecting the ball from the free hand, which must start
from above the playing surface. The ball must be resting in the palm of the free hand. The
ball is tossed into the air.
 As it starts to descend, the ball is struck so that it touches the server’s court first and then,
passing directly over or around the net, touches the receiver’s court. At the instant of contact
of the racquet on the ball in service, both handle and ball must be behind the end line of the
server’s court.
 A good return of a served ball must be struck by the receiver on the first bounce so that it
passes directly over or around the net and touches directly on top of the opponent’s court.
III. Points
 A point is awarded to the opponent in the following circumstances:
 Failure to make a good service, unless a let is declared.
 Failure to make a good return of a good service or a good return made by the

opponent, unless a let is declared.

 If the player, the racquet, or anything that the player wears or carries touches the
net or its supports while the ball is in play.
 If the player, the racquet, or any wearing apparel moves the playing surface while the ball
is in play or touches the net or its supports.
 If the player’s free hand touches the playing surface while the ball is in play.
 If, after being struck by the opponent, the ball comes in contact with the player or anything
the player wears or carries before it has passed over the end lines or sidelines, not yet having
touched the playing surface on the player’s side of the table.
 If at any time the player volleys the ball – that is before the ball hits the table top – except
as provided in Rule A under “Let” (below).
IV. Let
 A let ball, which is then replayed, is called in the following cases:
 If the served ball, in passing over the net, touches it or its supports, if the service would
otherwise have been good or volleyed by the receiver.
 If a service is delivered when the receiver is not ready.
 If either player is prevented by an accident not under his/her control from serving a good
service or making a good return.
 If either player gives up a point, as provided in Rules C-G under “Points”, owing to an
accident not within his/her control.
V. Scoring
 A point is scored by the side that makes the last successful return prior to the end of a rally.
An unsuccessful return occurs whenever the ball is missed, is hit off the table, sent into the
net, or hit onto the player’s own half of the court on the return. Failure to make a good serve
also scores a point for the opponent unless it is a let.
VI. Ball in Play

‍REVERSE BACKHAND: The backhand stroke used by a penholder.

‍TOSS: Tossing the ball high in the air with the palm of the hand.
‍ IGH TOSS SERVE: When the serve is tossed minimum 5-6 ft. in the air. This serve is
H
used as a great tactic by professional players as this serve has acted as a great weakness for
many opponents. However, mastering this serve is a great skill. Not doing it right could give
away cheap points.
‍ LOCK: A quick, off the bounce return done from an aggressive topspin or drive by just
B
holding the racket in the ball's path.
‍ HOP: It’s a heavy underspin shot generally used by defensive players. It’s usually executed
C
away from the table and below the table top. A chop forces the ball to drop downwards when
it hits an opponent’s racket.
‍KILL: A put away shot. Ball is hit with enough speed so the opponent cannot make a return.
‍ OB: A shot played far from the table where most of the shot returns are high in the air with
L
generally 6 ft. above the table with no upper bar.
‍DEAD: A ball without any spin.
‍ EEP: A ball that lands deep on the table. A serve that will not bounce twice on the
D
opponent's side of the table if given the chance is also considered deep.
‍ RIVE: The basic topspin shot executed close to the table. Also called a counter, counter
D
drive, or smash.
‍ OOP: The shot that currently dominates the sport. This is an extreme topspin shot. This
L
curve allows the player to hit the ball harder and still rely on the spin of the ball to cause the
ball to dive down onto the table. Also, a loop will 'skip' on the table top taking sharp changes
in directions. A loop will also tend to 'pop' upwards when it strikes the opponents racket. The
opponent has to deal with
A curving ball,
A ball that changes directions when it hits the table, and
A ball that will jump off his racket unpredictably unless he compensates for spin.
A loop will also counter heavy spin (topspin or underspin) from an opponent. It can be
executed above or below the table top, close or far away from the table.
‍ ROP SHOT: Short placement - very close to the net. A key point in making a drop shot is
D
to not allow the ball to fall off the table after the first bounce. i.e. Drop shots should bounce at
least twice on the opponents side of the table before falling off.

BADMINTON
1. What is Badminton?

 Badminton is a racquet sport played by either two opposing players (singles) or two
opposing pairs (doubles). The players or pairs take positions on opposite halves of a
rectangular court that is divided by a net.

2. History of Badminton

 Badminton is widely believed to have originated in ancient Greece about 2000 years
ago. From there it spread via the Indo-Greek kingdoms to Indian and then further east
to China and Siam (now Thailand). In England since medieval times a children's
game called Battledore and Shuttlecock was popular. Children would use paddles
(Battledores) and work together to keep the Shuttlecock up in the air and prevent it
from reaching the ground. It was popular enough to be a nuisance on the street of
London in 1854 when the magazine Punch published a cartoon depicting it. In the
1860s, British Army officers in Pune, India, began playing the game of Battledore
and Shuttlecock, but they added a competitive element by including a net. As the city
of Pune was formerly known as Poona, the game was known as Poona at that time.
About this same time, the Duke of Beaufort was entertaining soldiers at his estate
called " Badminton House", where the soldiers played Poona. The Duke of Beaufort’s
non-military guests began referring to the game as "the badminton game", and thus
the game became known as "badminton". In 1877, the first badminton club in the
world, Bath Badminton Club, transcribed the rules of badminton for the first time.
However, in 1893, the Badminton Association of England published the first proper
set of rules, similar to that of today, and officially launched badminton in a house
called 'Dunbar' at 6 Waverley Grove, Portsmouth, England on September 13 of that
year. They also started the All England Open Badminton Championships, the first
badminton competition in the world, in 1899. The International Badminton
Federation (IBF) was established in 1934 with Canada, Denmark, England, France,
the Netherlands, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland, and Wales as its founding
members. India joined as an affiliate in 1936. The IBF now governs international
badminton and develops the sport globally.

3. Equipments Used

 Racquet: A racquet is a vital piece of equipment in badminton. Traditionally

racquets were made of wood. Later on, aluminium or other light metals became the
material of choice.

Grip: Grip is the interface between the player's hand and the racquet. Type, size and
thickness are three characteristics that affect the choice of grip. There are two types
of grips: synthetic and towel.
String: Perhaps one of the most overlooked areas of badminton equipment is the
string. Different types of string have different response properties. Durability
generally varies with performance.
Shuttlecock: A shuttlecock has an open conical shape, with a rounded head at the
apex of the cone, they are made of cork and overlapped by sixteen goose feathers.

4. Basic Skills
● Grip -Like any racquet game, having a proper grip in badminton is essential.
The correct grip will allow you to have more control and will help you dictate
where you place your shot.
● Forehand grip: Anything on your racquet side (right side if you’re right-handed,
left side if you’re left-handed) whether it be overarm or underarm.
● Backhand grip: Anything to your non-racket side (left side if you’re right-
handed, right side if you’re left-handed) whether it be overarm or underarm.
● Universal grip: A type of backhand grip where your thumb has moved to the
edge of the fatter face of your grip. This is used for backhand cross-court net
shots, backhand clears, and backhand straight drop shots from the rear court.
● Panhandle grip: Where your thumb and the finger pinch the top of the racket in
order to tap/net-kill the incoming shuttlecock.
● The Serve -A good serve is likely to get you points and may give you some
advantage during the rally.
● Footwork -Good footwork not only rewards you by helping you move more
nimbly across the court, increasing your chances of picking shots more often.
● Stance -While returning strokes from the opponent, the stance is a crucial skill
required in badminton.Proper posture will allow you to return the opponent’s
strokes efficiently and enable you to get an advantage in rallies.
● Strokes -Strokes are fundamental to becoming a good badminton player and
executing superior shots.

5. Rules and Regulations of the games

Each organization is allowed 1 singles and 1 doubles team. A student may compete in both.

TABLE TENNIS
1. WHAT IS TABLE TENNIS?
 Table tennis is a indoor game which is played between two people.Table tennis is also
known as ping-pong.As well as the game is to hit the ball over the net and bounce it to
the other side of the table in a way that the opponent misses hitting it back.

2.HISTORY OF TABLE TENNIS

 It was in England, in the late 19th century, that table tennis made its appearance.
Taking inspiration from lawn tennis, the first players belonged to middle-class
Victorian society. The first game would have been played using a champagne cork as
a ball, cigar boxes as bats and books for the net. At that point, table tennis was seen as
a mere distraction for the wealthy classes. In 1890, Englishman David Foster,
attracted by its wide appeal, introduced the first game of tennis on a table. In 1897,
the first national championships were organised in Hungary. Following a trip to the
United States, in 1901 James Gibb brought back the first celluloid ball, which was a
lot lighter than the rubber balls. A year later, in 1902, E.C. Gould, a British enthusiast
of the game, introduced the first bats covered in rubber and rubberized pimples. It was
game on for the history of table tennis!
3.EQUIPMENTS USED
● Racquet / Paddle -The racquet is laminated and covered with rubber on either side or
on both the sides depending on the player. The player based on his/her grip decides
whether they need the rubber on either or on both sides.
● Ball -The accuracy of the ball is determined by bouncing it on a flat uniform surface
from a height of 12 inches. If the ball bounces for about 9.4-10.2 inches, then that
particular ball is perfect for play.
● Table Tennis Rubbers -Table tennis rubbers are the piece of the bat that made
contact with the ball when you strike it. They consist of a top sheet and an underlying
sponge. There are various types of rubber such as inverted, short pimples, long

pimples, and antispin. However, the vast majority are the inverted style. These are
your standard rubbers where the pimples face inwards into the sponge.
● Table Tennis Blade -Table tennis blades are the wooden part of your paddle. They
consist of a handle and a flat face to which both of your rubbers are glued to. Blades
are available in various handle types such as flared, straight, anatomic, and penhold.
Which is best for you largely depends on your grip — that’s the manner in which you
hold your bat. If you use a shakehand grip like most table tennis players, we
recommend purchasing a blade with a flared handle. It’s comfortable to hold and
helps reduce the risk of your bat slipping out of your hand.
● Table Tennis Paddle Case -Once you’ve got your bat you need to protect it. Rubbers
will degrade when exposed to sunlight, dust, and dirt so it’s important to store your
bat when it is not in use. You can easily do this by putting your bat safely away in a
case. This equipment is commonly used in table tennis, virtually all players use a case
● Table Tennis Cleaner -After a long training session, your rubbers tend to get a little
dirty. There’s no escaping that fact. Balls bounce around the floor in all of the dirt and
dust and some of this ultimately makes its way to your bat.
● Table Tennis Table -Included in the list of important table tennis equipment is the
table. The ITTF specifies that the official table tennis tables used in tournament
settings must be 9 ft long, 5 ft wide, and 30 inches above the ground. They come in
either green, blue, or black and are made from hardboard. The surface must be smooth
to provide the lowest friction possible.
● Table Tennis Net and Post -While nets are sometimes included when you purchase a
table tennis table, most of the time you will have to purchase them separately. Nets
should measure 6 ft long and 6 inches wide. They should also have an upper white
tape that is no more than 15mm wide.
● Table Tennis Robots -Now some of you might not have heard of robots before, they
are a fairly different type of table tennis equipment from what you usually see.
However, they are very useful for training. Table tennis robots feed you balls to hit to
work on your technique and consistency. They are especially ideal for players who
struggle to find a playing partner.
● Table Tennis Clothing -When you’re playing you want to feel comfortable. This is
why it is a good choice to pick up a variety of table tennis clothing. We recommend
choosing lightweight clothes that feature breathable material such as micro polyester.
This helps in removing moisture away from the body.

● Table Tennis Shoes -While you can get away with using non-table tennis clothing,
it’s harder to do so when it comes to shoes. This is why they are such an important
type of equipment in table tennis. Table tennis shoes are developed specifically for the
sport therefore their qualities are exactly what you need. Other sports shoes simply
fall short when it comes to table tennis. For instance, you might consider badminton
shoes to be a good alternative, but they are heavier and feature thicker outer soles due
to badminton involving more running and jumping.

4.BASIC SKILLS
● Forehand -The fundamental skill for playing table tennis is the forehand drive or a
forehand. A rookie player needs to learn this basic skill to play. When the ball comes
to the paddled side of the body, this shot is necessary. You need to hit the running ball
while rotating your body and the other arm. A forehand shot increases the power, and
the opponent gets a powerful knock. While playing this shot, you need to put your
thumb upwards.
● Backhand -The second fundamental skill is to know the backhand drive or the
backhand. When the ball comes to the other side of the paddled hand, this skill is
required. You can also play this shot when the ball comes straight at your body. In
both of these scenarios, your footwork and stance are important with swinging the
racket. You can also play this shot when the ball is fast, as you don’t need to apply
force.
● Serving -Serving in table tennis is important, as your opponent will get the
opportunity the hit the ball after an easy serve. In serving, you need to bounce the ball
on your side and then to the other side. After every point, players start the new point
with a serve. There are so many variations of a table tennis service. You can serve
with both forehand and backhand serve. Players who can swing the ball are the best
servers.
● Pushes -There are mainly two strategies players follow. One is to play the ball with
full force and the other one is to play a short ball. So, when a short ball is played, you
need to get closer to the table and lean forward. You don’t need to apply force to the
ball as your body movement will automatically apply force to the ball. You can use
this skill regardless of which side of your body the ball is.
● Flicks -The flicks are the skill to return a spin shot. Suppose your opponent plays a
shot where the ball has a spin and is also close to the net. You may confuse this skill

with the push. But here, a motion from your wrist and elbow is needed to deliver the
ball to the opponent’s side. Also, you don’t need to apply full force to the ball, as a
force can push the ball outside the table.
● Spinning -In table tennis, there are mainly four different spins. Spin is very important
in a table tennis match, as it is a tricky shot that can challenge the opponent. No
matter whether you want to play defensive or offensive, you need to learn to spin the
ball.
● Loops -This is one of the modern table tennis basic skills. Recently table tennis
players have acquired this skill to put a spin on the ball during the offense. Players
play this shot by swinging their racket from low to high to put swing and force. The
style of the shot generates topspin and makes it harder to play for the opponent. When
there is a monotonous game running, then there is a need for loops.
● Footwork -There are two types of footwork needed in a table tennis match. Players
need to move front and back and also left and right. Also, table tennis professionals
are agile, quick, and masters at moving anywhere. If you want to play a competitive
game, then you need to move quickly. You also need to get back to your original
position after playing every shot.
● Stance -For a game where footwork and moving fast are necessary, the stance is also
one of the most important things. First, when you take the service, you need to put
your other leg in the front and the paddled leg in the back. Also, this is the basic
stance. This is the stance you need to follow when you play a short ball. And when
you have to defend, put your legs parallel to play both forehand and backhand shots.
● Speed -With time and experience, you should be able to be agile with your
movement. If you want to pay at the highest level, then you need speed both in your
legs and hands. For example, a professional player can volley the ball at 70mph.
Though recreational and casual games are different, I am talking about competitions.
The game’s pace is fast, and sometimes you will need help to keep up with the game
while watching a professional game.

BADMINTON

1.WHAT IS BADMINTON
● Badminton is a racquet sports played by two opposing players who take positions on
opposite halves of a rectangular court that is divided by a net.Also is a type of indoor
game which is played between either two teams or two players. It is one of the best
indoor games for an individual's physical fitness. The game is played with a racket
and a shuttlecock.
2.HISTORY OF BADMINTON
● Badminton is one of the racquet sports requiring players to hit a shuttlecock across a
net with a racket inside a badminton court. Generally, it comes in 2 forms:
“Singles”, a 1 vs 1 game and
“Doubles”, a 2 vs 2 games.
You can play badminton in both indoor or outdoor environments, however, most of the
world-class competitions are held in an indoor area because they want to reduce the influence
caused by external factors such as wind and lights to the minimum level.Badminton could be
traced back to more than 2000 years ago to the ancient game called battledore (bat or paddle)
and shuttlecock (also called “bird” or “birdie”), similar games were played for centuries
across Eurasia countries such as Greece, Egypt, China, India, and Japan.
3.EQUIPMENTS USED
● Badminton Racket -Modern Badminton Rackets are light in weight and don’t weigh
more than 100 grams. The frame of the Racket can be made of common metals like
steel or aluminium. Sometimes rackets are made of alloys, tough carbon fiber,
ceramic, or boron. Its length does not exceed 680mm and width does not exceed 230
mm.
● Shuttlecock -Sixteen feathers fixed in a cork base enveloped in a thin leather sheet
make a shuttlecock. Interestingly, the best Badminton Shuttlecocks are made from
feathers from the wing of a goose. The shuttle weighs between 4.74 to 5.50 grams.

● Badminton Shoes -A good pair of Badminton Shoes provide good grip, cushioning
and some flexibility at the forefoot.
● Badminton Accessories -The commonly used Badminton Accessories are Grip,
Badminton Clothes, Socks, Wrist Band and Head Band.
● Grip -A grip made of cloth or synthetic fiber absorbs sweat and provides you a drier
feel.
● Badminton Clothes -Comfortable T-shirts and shorts, that don’t hinder your
movement are ideal to play Badminton. A cotton round-neck or a collar t-shirts with a
pair of light shorts are usually preferred.
● Socks -Wear a pair of thick cotton socks as they help to absorb sweat. They also
prevent your feet from slipping inside your shoes. Avoid wearing Nylon socks that
don’t absorb sweat.
● Wrist Band -If you perspire a lot, you may consider getting a wrist band that prevents
your sweat from flowing to your racket handle.
● Head Band -Wear a Head Band if you wear spectacles. It prevents your lenses from
getting wet and also stops the sweat and hair from getting into your eyes while
playing.

4.BASIC SKILLS
 Grip -Like any racquet game, having a proper grip in badminton is essential.
The correct grip will allow you to have more control and will help you dictate where
you place your shot.
 Forehand grip: Anything on your racquet side (right side if you’re right-handed, left
side if you’re left-handed) whether it be overarm or underarm.
 Backhand grip: Anything to your non-racket side (left side if you’re right-handed,
right side if you’re left-handed) whether it be overarm or underarm.
 Universal grip: A type of backhand grip where your thumb has moved to the edge of
the fatter face of your grip. This is used for backhand cross-court net shots, backhand
clears, and backhand straight drop shots from the rear court.
 Panhandle grip: Where your thumb and the finger pinch the top of the racket in order
to tap/net-kill the incoming shuttlecock.
 The Serve -A good serve is likely to get you points and may give you some
advantage during the rally.
