To play badminton well, you need to master grip, serve, footwork, stance, and strokes.

• Grip: Hold the racket as if greeting someone for forehand shots. The backhand grip places your thumb against the handle for extra push.
• Serve: A legal serve must strike the shuttle below waist height. Use a low serve for tight net play or a high serve to send them deep.
• Footwork: Agile movement keeps you ready to return any shot. A small hop before your opponent hits prepares you to move anywhere.
• Stance: A balanced stance means you can push off quickly. Stay square to the net with your racket at chest height.
• Strokes: Clears, drops, smashes, and net shots form your attacking toolkit. Each stroke uses different racket angles and swing speeds.

These fundamentals unlock everything else in badminton.

Five fundamental rules shape every badminton match: how you score, serve, play rallies, commit faults, and stay in bounds.

• Scoring: Each rally won earns one point, and games go to 21. A two-point lead is needed, but 30 is the ceiling.
• Serving: The serve must travel diagonally into the opposite service box. Hit the shuttle below your waist while both feet touch the floor.
• One hit per side: The shuttle must go over after a single hit from your side.
• Faults: Landing outside the lines, serving into the net, or body contact all count as faults. If you brush the net while the shuttle is live, you lose the point.
• Boundaries: Singles use the inner sidelines, doubles use the outer ones. Service in doubles has a shorter back boundary than the rally.

These five rules cover most situations you will face on court.
