The 4 Common stroke in Badminton

Badminton offers a wide variety of basic strokes, and players require a high level of skill to perform all of them effectively. All strokes can be played either forehand or backhand. A player's forehand side is the same side as their playing hand: for a right-handed player, the forehand side is their right side and the backhand side is their left side. Forehand strokes are hit with the front of the hand leading (like hitting with the palm), whereas backhand strokes are hit with the back of the hand leading (like hitting with the knuckles). Players frequently play certain strokes on the forehand side with a backhand hitting action, and vice versa.

Types of serve

Low serve

The low serve is played gently over the net to land at the front of your opponent’s service court, near the short service line. It’s important that this serve passes low over the net (hence the name low serve).

The low serve is used in both singles and doubles. In doubles, the low serve is used more frequently than any other serve.
