Badminton tips for rookie

Hey Guys! I am Zhiwei and today I'm going to share with you all about the sport, Badminton. Many people may know how to play badminton but they do not know how to play it the right way. Now I am going to give you all some advices and tips on how to play badminton efficiently and effectively. First and foremost, before starting to the hold the racket, we need to do some warm up like stretching as shown in the picture below:



Back And Forward Neck Stretch | Side to Side Neck Stretch


Overhead Shoulder Stretch | Posterior Shoulder Stretch
 Side Stretch | Side Lunge Stretch

Forward Lunge Stretch | Quadriceps Stretch

Wrist Flexion | Wrist Extension

By doing warm up helps ready muscles for physical exertion, and eventually preventing injuries. Moving into an intense activity that requires a great amount of energy and power without doing warm-up can tear your muscles. Remember to do your warm ups before starting to play badminton or any other sports.

Secondly, before hitting the shuttlecock we must make sure that we know how to grip the racket. Here is a video that will teach you how to hold a racket properly without hurting yourself.

Thirdly, we will need to learn some basic footwork to help us to move smoothly in the badminton court without tripping over your own leg or losing balance and fall.

After doing all the things mention above, you can start to play badminton! However, you will need to swing the racket properly to prevent yourself from getting hit by the racket. Here is a video to guide you on how to do a proper swing with the racket.

Not to forget, you will need a racket to your preference, expensive does not mean that the racket suit you the most. You will also need a proper court shoe; my recommendation for the brand of shoe is to get a Yonex or Li Ning brand. Why do I recommend these two brands? It can last longer. It also provides good friction when moving in the badminton court and also provides comfort to your foot.

   

Lastly, I hope you all will like what i have just shared and find it useful to those who are trying to learn how to play badminton. Remember to drink lots of water when playing badminton, and also to do warm up exercises.
