Any deviations from these four techniques puts the player at a risk of muscular strains owing to their improper technique. In order to understand the basic grips, it is important to understand the concept of bevels on the badminton grip.\nBadminton grips comes in three shapes: octagonal, round, square. Square grips are not always comfortable and often restrict a few shots. Round grips are convenient but do not provide the player with the needed friction with the racquet that helps in aggressive shot-making. Octagonal grips are the most ideal grip shapes, eliminating the drawbacks of the former two grip shapes.\nThe eight sides of the octagonal grip are called bevels. In an anti-clockwise manner, the bevels are numbered from 1 to 8. Let us now understand the five basic grips patterns.\nForehand Grip\nThe forehand grip is the most commonly used grip. The player holds it in such a manner as if he or she is shaking hands with another person. The thumb lies on the third and the index finger lies on the seventh bevel. Another guide to check a correct forehand grip to see the formation of a ‘V’ shape between the thumb and index finger.\nBackhand Thumb Grip\nThis grip is often used in low serves and in response to drive shots. The player has to keep the racquet head in facing the front at all times. The bevel that corresponds to this front face of the racquet is where the thumb is placed.\nBackhand Thumb Bevel Grip\nThis grip is more often used for executing defensive shots and cross court backhand shots. Unlike the backhand thumb grip, in the backhand thumb bevel grip, the thumb is placed at the bevel on the immediate right (for a right handed player; viz for southpaws) bevel.\nHammer Grip\nAs the name suggest, this grip is used for executing attacking shots like smashes. The player is literally supposed to hold the racquet like a hammer and executes the smash by some added momentum with a jump\nNet Tap or Pan Hold Grip\nYet again, the name gives away the technique. The racquet is held just like a pan is held. It is used when the shuttle lands near the net and has to be returned on the forecourt of the opponent.\nIn addition to these grips, three rules need to be remembered in order to avoid any hindered movement of the racquets.\nThe thumbs should never cover the fingers.\nThe index finger should never be extended and must always be bent and wrapped around the grip.\nThe racquet should never be held such that the wrist becomes locked.\nFollowing the above techniques, this guide will suffice the reader in understanding the basic grips in badminton.","attrs_markdown":"[![Betting Dog](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Bettingdog-new.png.webp)](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/ \"Betting Dog\")\n\n- [Home](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/)\n- [News](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/news\/)\n- [Football standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/badminton-racquet-grip\/)\n  - [Africa](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/badminton-racquet-grip\/)\n    - [Algeria Ligue 1 standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/algeria-ligue-1-standings\/)\n    - [Angola Girabola standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/angola-girabola-standings\/)\n    - [Egypt Premier League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/egypt-premier-league-standings\/)\n    - [Ghana Premier League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/ghana-premier-league-standings\/)\n    - [Kenya Premier League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/kenya-premier-league-standings\/)\n    - [Libya Premier League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/libya-premier-league-standings\/)\n    - [Morocco Botola Pro standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/morocco-botola-pro-standings\/)\n    - [Nigeria Professional League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/nigeria-professional-league-standings\/)\n    - [South Africa Premier League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/south-africa-premier-league-standings\/)\n    - [Sudan Premier League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/sudan-premier-league-standings\/)\n    - [Tunisia League 1 standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/tunisia-league-1-standings\/)\n  - [Asia](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/badminton-racquet-grip\/)\n    - [Bahrain Premier League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/bahrain-premier-league-standings\/)\n    - [China Super League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/china-super-league-standings\/)\n    - [India Super League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/india-super-league-standings\/)\n    - [Indonesia Liga 1 standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/indonesia-liga-1-standings\/)\n    - [Iran Azadegan League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/iran-azadegan-league-standings\/)\n    - [Israel Premier League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/israel-premier-league-standings\/)\n    - [Japan J-League 1 standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/japan-j-league-1-standings\/)\n    - [South Korea K-League 1 standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/south-korea-k-league-1-standings\/)\n    - [Kuwait Premier League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/kuwait-premier-league-standings\/)\n    - [Lebanon Premier League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/lebanon-premier-league-standings\/)\n    - [Oman League 1 standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/oman-league-1-standings\/)\n    - [Qatar Stars League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/qatar-stars-league-standings\/)\n    - [Saudi Arabia Professional League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/saudi-arabia-professional-league-standings\/)\n    - [Singapore Premier League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/singapore-premier-league-standings\/)\n    - [Thailand League 1 standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/thailand-league-1-standings\/)\n    - [United Arab Emirates Pro League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/united-arab-emirates-pro-league-standings\/)\n    - [Uzbekistan Pro League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/uzbekistan-pro-league-standings\/)\n    - [Vietnam Premier League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/vietnam-premier-league-standings\/)\n  - [Oceania](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/badminton-racquet-grip\/)\n    - [Australia A-League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/australia-a-league-standings\/)\n  - [Europe](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/badminton-racquet-grip\/)\n    - [Albania Super League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/albania-super-league-standings\/)\n    - [Armenia Premier League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/armenia-premier-league-standings\/)\n    - [Austria Bundesliga standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/austria-bundesliga-standings\/)\n    - [Azerbaijan Premier League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/azerbaijan-premier-league-standings\/)\n    - [Belarus Premier League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/belarus-premier-league-standings\/)\n    - [Belgium Jupiler League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/belgium-jupiler-league-standings\/)\n    - [Bosnia Premier League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/bosnia-premier-league-standings\/)\n    - [Bulgaria Premier League standings](https:\/\/bettingdog.com\/bulgaria-premier-league-standings\/)\n    - [Croatia 1.

Octagonal grips are the most ideal grip shapes, eliminating the drawbacks of the former two grip shapes. The eight sides of the octagonal grip are called bevels. In an anti-clockwise manner, the bevels are numbered from 1 to 8. Let us now understand the five basic grips patterns. Forehand Grip The forehand grip is the most commonly used grip.

Readable Markdown	There are five ways in which a badminton racquet can be gripped. Any deviations from these four techniques puts the player at a risk of muscular strains owing to their improper technique. In order to understand the basic grips, it is important to understand the concept of bevels on the badminton grip. ![](https://bettingdog.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/active-badminton-racket-sport.jpg.webp) Badminton grips comes in three shapes: octagonal, round, square. Square grips are not always comfortable and often restrict a few shots. Round grips are convenient but do not provide the player with the needed friction with the racquet that helps in aggressive shot-making. Octagonal grips are the most ideal grip shapes, eliminating the drawbacks of the former two grip shapes. The eight sides of the octagonal grip are called bevels. In an anti-clockwise manner, the bevels are numbered from 1 to 8. Let us now understand the five basic grips patterns. [![Stake](https://bettingdog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Stake-banner.gif)](https://bettingdog.com/go/stake-banner/ "Stake") Forehand Grip The forehand grip is the most commonly used grip. The player holds it in such a manner as if he or she is shaking hands with another person. The thumb lies on the third and the index finger lies on the seventh bevel. Another guide to check a correct forehand grip to see the formation of a ‘V’ shape between the thumb and index finger. Backhand Thumb Grip This grip is often used in low serves and in response to drive shots. The player has to keep the racquet head in facing the front at all times. The bevel that corresponds to this front face of the racquet is where the thumb is placed. Backhand Thumb Bevel Grip This grip is more often used for executing defensive shots and cross court backhand shots. Unlike the backhand thumb grip, in the backhand thumb bevel grip, the thumb is placed at the bevel on the immediate right (for a right handed player; viz for southpaws) bevel. Hammer Grip As the name suggest, this grip is used for executing attacking shots like smashes. The player is literally supposed to hold the racquet like a hammer and executes the smash by some added momentum with a jump Net Tap or Pan Hold Grip Yet again, the name gives away the technique. The racquet is held just like a pan is held. It is used when the shuttle lands near the net and has to be returned on the forecourt of the opponent. In addition to these grips, three rules need to be remembered in order to avoid any hindered movement of the racquets. The thumbs should never cover the fingers. The index finger should never be extended and must always be bent and wrapped around the grip. The racquet should never be held such that the wrist becomes locked. Following the above techniques, this guide will suffice the reader in understanding the basic grips in badminton.
