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

• Grip: A relaxed handshake grip gives you control on forehand strokes. Backhand requires a slight twist so your thumb supports the shot.
• Serve: The serve must contact the shuttle below your midsection. Use a low serve for tight net play or a high serve to send them deep.
• Footwork: Quick, balanced steps let you reach any corner of the court. Bouncing lightly on both feet lets you spring toward the shuttle.
• Stance: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Face the net with your racket up, ready to strike.
• Strokes: Master the clear, drop, smash, and net play to cover all situations. 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: You score on every rally, first to 21 wins the game. If it reaches 29-all, the next point wins.
• Serving: Your serve has to land in the diagonally opposite area. Hit the shuttle below your waist while both feet touch the floor.
• One hit per side: Each side may only strike the shuttle once before it crosses the net.
• Faults: Out-of-bounds shots, net errors on serve, and body touches lose you the rally. Touching the net with your body or racket also results in a fault.
• Boundaries: In singles, the court is narrower; in doubles, the full width is used. Doubles serves must land before the back line, but rallies can use the full length.

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