Switching Between Forehand and Backhand Grips

Here’s two great videos to help practice switching between forehand and backhand grips.

Note that the racket is loose in your hand and as you transition. Tighten your grip when you finish the switch.

Badminton is a quick game and we have to be able to react accordingly. This is particularly evident when playing in the forecourt in doubles where drive wars are common.

By practicing these movements you will become accustomed to the quick switching between the grips, as well as the concept of FINGER POWER – the tightening of your grip at the point of impact with the shuttle. More on finger power later!
