Developing Understanding

Individual and Dual Sports: Badminton

Badminton is a tennis-like game played with light stroke rackets that are used to strike a shuttlecock (a feather cork missile) back and forth, before it hits the ground across a high net within a rectangular court. It is also a court play that can be played either singles or doubles, by men, women or mixed pairs, either indoors or on outdoor courts as a fun game.

History of Badminton

Badminton originated from the ancient civilizations of Europe mainly in England. It was brought to England about 1870 by British army officers stationed in India. Badminton is an ancient game known as Battledore (bat or paddle) and Shuttlecock originated more than 2000 years ago. The game was learned in India as “poona”. Battledore and Shuttlecock were simply played by two people hitting a shuttlecock backwards and forwards with a simple bat as many times as they could without allowing it to hit the ground.

Most strings are made of synthetic such as nylon but world class players use lamb. String diameter ranges from 19-22 gauge. Most competitive players prefer 21 to 22 gauge string at 14 to 15 pounds of tension, that provides power and control. For school and recreational use, with 20 gauge string at a tension of 12 to 13 pounds is adequate.
