ESSAY

2. Enumerate and explain the four common strokes in Badminton
3. Discuss the rules of badminton briefly.

ANSWERS
1. Based on what I have learned from our discussions, badminton is already
being played by our ancestors in their time which occurred specifically in
ancient Greece whereas a game that is related to it called Hanetsuki in Japan
started to be played in the 16th century. It is said that in the western countries,
this game originated from a game known as “battledore” and “shuttlecock”,
where there are two players in the court who are keeping a shuttlecock in the
air with the use of small rackets.
Also, during the 18th century, it has been called as “Poona” in India and
then in the 1860s, there are British Army officers who are stationed there that
worked to get back a competitive Indian version to England in which it was
played by the families in the upper class for their amusement inside country
houses. There is also this London toy dealer in 1860 named Isaac Spratt who
published a booklet entitled “Badminton Battledore- a new game” but sadly,
none of the copies survived. Badminton was said to be launched officially in
the year 1873 as a new sport at the Badminton house of Duke of Beaufort
where it was first called the Game of Badminton before it was finally called as
Badminton.
The English people continued playing this game with rules being used
in India until 1887 but they have standardized their own rules which are
assured to be applicable to the ideas of their citizens, this is made possible by
the Bath Badminton Club. And then, the Badminton Association of England
released the first set of the rules based on these regulations in 1893 which
are similar to today’s rules and officially introduced the sport in the country on
the 13th of September of that same year. This is followed by the first
badminton competition in the world, year 1899, known as the “All England
Open Badminton Championships.”
Year 1934, countries including Canada, Wales, Denmark, England,
France, Ireland, Scotland, Netherlands and New Zealand as the founding
members made possible the establishment of the International Badminton
Federation which is now known as the Badminton World Federation in which
India joined in 1936 as an affiliate. This Federation is now governing the
international badminton while developing it in the different parts of the world.
So it is clear that the game originated from England but it has been
dominated by a number world-class players from countries in Asia including
South Korea, Indonesia, China which is consistent in being the most
dominant in the latest competitions and Malaysia as well as Denmark which is
located in Europe.

2. The four common strokes in badminton are: Defensive badminton clear/lob,


Badminton drop shot, Badminton smash and Badminton jump smash.

The defensive badminton clear/lob is known as the easiest shot which can
be done with the use of underarm stroke and overhead stroke, it is being
performed by the player when in trouble to be able to get out of it. It is said to
be a good choice for someone to make himself a lot more organized amidst
the pressure because he can take some time to prepare himself back to the
rally. The shuttlecock here is travelling upwards and falls deep into the
baseline of the competitor that is why it is called “clear” because the
defensive clear is holding your shuttle in the air for a little time before the
opponent can hit the shuttle up.

For the badminton drop shot, it is semi-offensive which is being done from
the back of the court for the purpose of maintaining the momentum of the
competition.

Next, the badminton smash which is most commonly known as the


winning shot, when used by a player, the purpose is surely to end a rally. It is
classified as one of the most powerful shots being done when playing
badminton but it must be noted that when you use smash, you may lose a
certain level of your balance. And, when you attempt to receive a smash then
you are brave enough to take a risk.

Lastly, the jump smash. It is a more powerful use of the previous stroke which
is smash that is why it is harder to perform. To do this successfully, the player
has to jump and in midair, smash the shuttlecock with determination.

3. It can be a game between two individuals (singles) or between two pairs


(doubles), the match should be conducted indoors with a court having proper
measurements which are 6.1m by 13.4m, and the net must be placed in the
middle of the court set at 1.55m.

Games start with a toss coin in order to know who among the players will
have the first service and which side of the court the opponent would like to
play his game. It is umpired by a referee who will oversee the game while on
a high chair, and there are also line judges to monitor if the shuttle lands in or
out of the court.

When serving, it must be hit below the waist of the server and underarm
because no overarm service are being allowed. Service must be done
diagonally across the net in a direction going to their opponent, after each
point, the serving stations move simultaneously from side to side. For the
player to earn a score, the shuttlecock should hit within the parameters of the
court of your competitor, but if the shuttlecock lands outside or it hits the net,
the point goes to the opponent. Once the shuttlecock is in the air, every
player has the freedom to move all around the court or even out of the playing
area if that’s the way for them to hit the shuttle.

When the net is touched by a player’s hand or any body part, point goes to
the opponent or when a player disrespects the prevailing rules, distracts the
opponent, shuttle is hit twice or is caught with the racket then flung. They only
have two periods to rest, first is a 90-second rest right after the first game and
a 5-minute rest after the second game. If a player is constant in breaking the
rules, the referee can use his power to even the match for fairness or dock
that player of points with the fouls he has done in the set because that is what
he deserves.
