Badminton

2. Howdiditbegin?
The game is named for Badminton, the country
estate of the dukes of Beaufort in Gloucestershire,
England, where it was first played about 1873. The
roots of the sport can be traced to ancient Greece,
China, and India, and it is closely related to the old
children's game battledore and shuttlecock.

3. TheOriginofBadminton
Badminton originated in Gloucestershire, England in
the late 19th century. Badminton’s roots are tied to
the game of battledore and shuttlecock which can
be traced back to ancient Greece. Battledore and
shuttlecock was a simple game where players used
paddles to hit a shuttlecock between them with the
objective of keeping the shuttlecock from landing
on the ground. This game was popular among
children to play in England.

The drive is played from mid-court to mid-court
and is a quick, flat, powerful counter-attacking
shot. It can be both a backhanded and
forehanded shot.

The drop shot is best used when
the shuttle is heading towards
you in the first half of your court.

8. 3.Smash
The smash shot is hit with power and speed
downward into the opponent's court.

9. 4.HighClear
In a singles game, players use the clear more than
any other types of shots. A high defensive clear
prevents your opponent from smashing from a
good angle.
