– Gently wipe from the center of the racket to the handle and stop near the end of the handle, the thumb and index finger form a sharp angle to grasp the left and right cheeks of the handle.
– The other three fingers grip naturally on the lower part of the index finger. The index finger is about 1cm away from these three fingers. The racquet and the flat side of the forearm lie in the same spatial plane.
 – The handle of the racket must be comfortable to control the racket flexibly. Do not hold too tight, rigid will hinder the movement of the shuttlecock.

To have the secret to practicing badminton wrists with correct technique, how to hit the shuttlecock occupies a very necessary position. The 3 important factors that help you have the smash that makes the opponent unable to react are strength, accuracy, and mobility.
Power: In a smash, power plays a very important role, a powerful smash is a powerful smash. If you want to beat hard, you must rhythmically coordinate the movements. Use wrist strength combined with full body strength to maximize the power of the smash.
Accuracy: depends on your attack speed and distance.
- Speed ​​of blows: Contact the bridge quickly to minimize errors when generating force.
– Spacing distance: very short, this is a very important factor for the dams to have great power. Shortening the time from generating force to contacting the bridge, that is the power generation distance, contributes to your demand curve becoming more unpredictable.
Mobility: We are not always in a good position to perform the best smash. We need to actively move and choose the right place to have the best dam location. If you want to hit hard, you have to move to the position where the bridge will free-fall first, jump on the right rhythm, and catch the bridge at the right level.
Smashing the bridge is not a very important factor in deciding the game. Therefore, in addition to practicing wrists, practicing smashing for strength, you should practice more diverse techniques and tactics.
