Grip technique in Badminton

Reviewer Best-in-class breakdown of exactly what goes wrong with serve grip and how to fix it.

Moderator This is entirely about how to hold the shuttle for serving - grip angle, contact point on the shuttle, common grip mistakes (holding sideways, upside down, wrist twisting) across low, flick, and high serves. Squarely a grip-technique lesson, just scoped to serve grip specifically.

Reviewer Excellent - real mistakes, real fixes, good depth.

Moderator All five tips are grip - backhand thumb vs bevel, gripping too tight, forehand drifting toward the thumb grip. Right on the sub-skill from start to finish.

Reviewer The most complete and accurate grip rundown in this batch.

Moderator Despite the title, the actual content is a clean, comprehensive walkthrough of all four core badminton grips -- forehand, thumb, bevel, panhandle -- with correct hand position and correct shot associations for each. Exactly the sub-skill, and unusually complete.

Reviewer Clear, memorable, corrects a real common mistake — excellent.

Moderator This is squarely about grip technique — how the fingers and thumb (not the wrist) generate power and control, and switching grips quickly. Exactly the sub-skill.

Reviewer Solid grip reference - the four grips and exactly which shots each is for. Panhandle is for the LATE backhand only, not your everyday shot.

Moderator Bang on. The entire video is the four grips — forehand, backhand, bevel, panhandle — how to find each one and which shots to use them for. This IS grip technique, start to finish, nothing padded. Exactly what the sub-skill asks for.

Reviewer Clear, coach-quality explanation of the V-grip fundamentals.

Moderator Detailed, foundational explanation of the V-grip: how the V forms between thumb and index finger, contrast with the hammer grip, exactly where to place the V on the handle, and the fact that grip position shifts during play. Framed explicitly as the starting point for everything else.

Reviewer Solid, correct intro to the forehand grip.

Moderator Dead on. The whole video is the forehand grip - neutral V, the wrist angle, finger spacing, thumb doing the control. Exactly this sub-skill, nothing else.

Reviewer Solid beginner grip lesson with a nice practice drill.

Moderator Forehand and backhand grip basics, the whole video. Exactly the sub-skill - where the thumb goes, when each grip is used, how to switch.

Reviewer The grip-change video to send people - loose fingers principle plus a 7-step practice ladder you can actually train against a wall.

Moderator On the money for grip technique. Loose grip, index and thumb rolling the racket, three support fingers, then seven progressive levels of drills to make grip changes automatic. It is more about changing between grips quickly than the static grips themselves, but that is still squarely grip technique. Drops a hair from a 2 because it leans on the speed-of-change angle rather than teaching each grip cold.

Reviewer Clear and correct, if narrow in scope.

Moderator Clear, specific explanation of the panhandle grip -- V forms on the right side of the handle, frying-pan analogy, correct use-cases (late backhand rear-court stroke, backhand net taps) -- squarely about grip technique.

Reviewer Clear, actionable grip fixes from credible coaches - genuinely useful.

Moderator A full dedicated block of this video is grip mistake number one, two, three - pointing the finger up the racket, not using a backhand grip, not switching grips fast enough. That's squarely about grip technique, even though the video also covers footwork.

Reviewer Good, correct cues; doesn't slow down to show you how to get there.

Moderator Description explicitly frames this as a beginner grip-change drill, and the transcript is a tight list of accurate cues tying thumb position to specific shot outcomes (top of handle = backhand reach, wide side = flat control, narrow side = cross-court precision).

Reviewer Useful bevel-grip basics, a touch thin on detail.

Moderator The bevel grip is a grip, so this is squarely the sub-skill - thumb on the small edge, loose fingers for touch, where it is used. Specific to one grip rather than the full picture, but right on topic.

Reviewer Good drill and tips, let down a bit by a garbled ending.

Moderator About a specific grip technique drill -- rotating the racket 360 degrees between forehand and backhand using finger power while balancing the shuttle on the strings -- explicitly framed as a grip/finger-power exercise.

Reviewer Good cheat-sheet of effects, but doesn't show you how to actually hold each grip.

Moderator Squarely about grip technique -- a compressed list of real cues: grip angled down for a more powerful smash, angled up for faster drives/net shots, thumb to the side for backhand, thumb flat for stronger flat defense. ('Record' is clearly an ASR mis-hear of 'racket'.)

Reviewer Solid, accurate grip cues within a strong tutorial.

Moderator Correct sport. Grip is one of the key points - forehand grip on forehand side, backhand grip, relaxed grip for touch - but it sits among several net shot points, not the whole focus.

Reviewer One of the best backhand-clear breakdowns out there — real biomechanics, honest debate on cueing, and a smart slow-it-down progression. Watch the whole thing.

Moderator Video is the backhand clear power chain - floor up through elbow, shoulder, forearm rotation, then grip/fingers. Grip technique IS in here and gets real attention: bevel vs classic thumb grip, loose fingers, neutral wrist, the squeeze-to-directional-thumb-grip at contact. But grip is the opening link of a much bigger chain, not the whole video. Solid partial coverage of the grip sub-skill, not squarely about it.

Reviewer Simple, correct tip -- squeeze and pronate on contact.

Moderator Narrow but squarely on-topic: one specific grip technique (squeeze on impact, combined with pronation) for generating smash power. Not comprehensive, but it is grip technique through and through.

Moderator Frames grip as the actual foundation of the game before strokes, and starts with 'learn the basic grip' — this is squarely and explicitly about grip technique.

Reviewer Right instinct — most players do skip past grip too fast.

Reviewer Clear, accurate grip teaching for beginners.

Moderator Correct sport and grip is a heavy theme here - neutral forehand grip, bevel grip, thumb grip, loose fingers, with cross references to a dedicated grip tutorial. Strong overlap with grip technique.

Reviewer A nice detail fix if your grip's basics are already there.

Moderator Specifically about a grip detail — the triangle formed at the bottom of the handle. This is a grip-technique tutorial, squarely on the skill.

Reviewer The grip portion that IS there is taught really well.

Moderator Grip is tip #1 of 7 and gets real airtime - forehand 'handshake' grip, backhand thumb placement, and why finger-up-the-handle ruins power - but the other 6 tips are about disguise, serving, footwork, nothing to do with grip. Covers it among other things.

Reviewer Excellent, detailed coaching.

Moderator Step 2 covers grip thoroughly — backhand grip, thumb on the wide bevel, choke up the handle, switch to a bevel grip on the forehand side. Good coverage but inside a broader smash-defence video.

Reviewer Sharp, accurate grip coaching - you'll actually understand why, not just how.

Moderator Grip gets real, specific treatment here - backhand grip described precisely (thumb on top, like holding a frying pan), the bevel-grip switch point, hand position high on the handle for control - but it's one piece of a broader doubles-defence lesson alongside stance, positioning and shot mechanics.

Reviewer Lots of talk and music, little real teaching in the clip.

Moderator Topic is the grip and grip biomechanics - right sub-skill on paper, all about how to hold and rotate it for power and variation.

Reviewer Excellent backhand lesson with a clear, correct grip breakdown.

Moderator Skill is Grip technique. This is the backhand drop/clear/smash video, and it does devote a real section to grips: backhand grip for shots out front, bevel for rear court, panhandle when very late, plus relaxed grip and squeeze at contact. But grip is one of three sections inside a backhand stroke lesson.

Reviewer Thorough and clear - grip explained well within it.

Moderator Backhand grip is step one and well explained - thumb on widest part, strings up, high on the handle for control - but grip is one part of a full backhand serve tutorial.

Reviewer Excellent serve tutorial, grip section included is clear.

Moderator Backhand grip is explained as step one - thumb on the wide bevel, strings up, hand high for a shorter lever - but the video is a flick serve tutorial, grip is just one slice of it.

Reviewer Clear late-backhand technique - the panhandle grip switch is taught well.

Moderator Sub-skill is Grip technique, but this is a late-backhand shot tutorial. Grip gets real airtime - the panhandle switch is called the most common mistake and explained well - but the bulk is footwork, pivot, body upright, forearm rotation, slice for the drop, straight vs cross. Grip is one component of a shot lesson, not a grip lesson. Touches it meaningfully, hence just above tangential.

Reviewer The thumb-grip explanation for backhand power is a genuinely useful nugget from a world-class player.

Moderator This is primarily about flat-game technique overall - stance, leg position, arm readiness, power generation - and grip is one ingredient among several (thumb grip for backhand power, switching to forehand grip situationally). It touches the sub-skill meaningfully but isn't centered on it.

Reviewer Concise, correct backhand fundamentals including the grip.

Moderator Sub-skill Grip technique. This is a backhand rear-court tutorial whose first key point is the grip - bevel grip thumb on the ridge, panhandle for the late low backhand, and why NOT to use a backhand grip. Grip is one of three key points (with elbow height and body position), so it is partly on-topic but not a dedicated grip lesson.

Reviewer Solid, accurate drop-shot coaching from a credible voice.

Moderator Video is a forehand drop tutorial; grip gets about 15 seconds up front (forehand grip, loose fingers, neutral). The real topic is the drop swing and follow-through, not grip.

Reviewer Correct, beginner-friendly grip cue.

Moderator Mostly a footwork/shot-pattern drill ('running shuttle'), but it does include a genuine, well-known beginner grip cue at the end ('say hello to the racket' to find the forehand grip). Grip content is present but brief relative to the whole clip.

Reviewer Solid push video, grip cue accurate but thin.

Moderator Mentions the backhand grip — thumb on the flat side to twist and push down — but only in passing inside a push tutorial. Grip is not taught in depth.

Reviewer Solid backhand drive coaching.

Moderator Backhand drive tutorial. Backhand grip and thumb power get covered, but it is a drive lesson - grip is just one ingredient, not the subject.

Reviewer Clean, practical net shot coaching.

Moderator Forehand doubles net shot - racket angle, string angle, relaxed forehand grip held high, momentum-driven contact. Grip is one of several points, not the focus.

Reviewer Complete forehand clear breakdown - lose the panhandle, delay the elbow, fire the kinetic chain in order. Great fundamentals video.

Moderator Full forehand clear tutorial — preparation, footwork, kinetic chain rotation, contact point, three clear types, practice progressions. Grip gets a couple of touches: loose forehand grip with the V, hand lower on the grip for a longer lever, do not use panhandle, squeeze at contact. But grip is a minor sub-point inside a whole-shot lesson, not the focus. Someone after grip technique learns little here beyond do not panhandle.

Reviewer The one grip point made here is actually good and specific.

Moderator One of the four backhand tips is specifically about grip choice (bevel grip vs backhand grip and why), which is real grip-technique content, but the other three tips are about swing/body positioning, not grip.

Reviewer Useful grip points, but garbled captions hurt it.

Moderator Grip is the explicit first teaching point (hold slightly higher, not at the bottom, for defending a fast smash) and grip recurs in the drive/spin section. Covers grip meaningfully among footwork and positioning.
