Badminton is a really great and fun way to play sport which active your fitness! This is a truly accessible game, suitable for new and veteran players alike. Acquiring new skills and techniques can nurture better performance of your game. Perhaps the most important tool you will acquire is something known as the under grip. This particular grip will allow you to hit the shuttlecock with power and precision. This article will teach you a little more about the under grip — and how to use it correctly (and what not to do).
Now the under grip is a technique as it actually changes how you hold the racket. It will also assist you in smashing the shuttlecock more effectively and accurately. Begin utilising the under grip by gripping the handle of your racket with your non-dominant hand. Whatever you do, please be sure that your palm is facing up because this is crucial! Next, take your dominant hand and put it above the handle. Grasp the grip and put your thumb on top of the handle. Your hands should make a V letters shape when you do this. The index finger of your dominant hand should rest on top of the index finger of your other hand.
To perform a strong smash with the under grip, it requires a very large arc between your racket and body. MW: Begin by lifting your arm straight up overhead. This gives you more power. As you bring the racket down to hit the shuttlecock, give your wrist a slight twist. You can use this little twist as a way to add some more power behind your shot. When you are hitting the shuttlecock, always make sure that your strike is as close to dead center as possible. This will give you the greatest amount of force and precision on your shot, as well as making it more difficult for your opponent to keep the ball in play.
Under grip is great not just for smashing but also for other shot types! For example when you need to turn for a drop shot, it can be very useful then. Because that enables you to provide more backspin on the shuttlecock, fall sharply. To execute a drop shot you grasp the racket under grip and slice down on the shuttlecock. This action will allow it to spin and therefore fall quickly over the net.
The other way is also how you can confuse your opponent to use under grip. You can do this with both an overhead grip and a regular grip. That will deceive your enemy into assuming they have gone. Use the under grip for a few shots in a row, then revert to normal grip with power. Hopefully with this surprise it becomes a bit harder for them to read you and what you are doing next – that should give you the upper hand!
The under grip also has the added benefit of helping improve your grip strength. Your hands will become stronger holding the racket much tighter than you would with the regular grip. A higher grip strength obviously translates to other things in your life as well, right? Exercise makes any task that requires the use of intensive hands, such as weight lifting or rock climbing, easier.
One last common error players make is to become too dependent on the under grip. This is a great technique, but it still needs to be diluted with other grips. Your opponent will figure you out if you use the under grip all the time. Sooner or later, they will begin to read where you are going to strike the shuttlecock, and it can become very easy for them to respond to your strikes.
