"Hi my name is Bryan; welcome back to expertvillage.com. Today we are going to learn to hold the proper grip and handling of badminton racket. Normally, beginners hold the racket this way, flat and the fingers all apart. The proper way of handling a badminton racket: first off, you want to go sideways, with palms open on the head of the racket, slide down through the shaft until you reach the grip portion. The same concept a shaking the hand of a person. Slide down. The index finger needs to have a position just like holding the trigger of a gun. Make sure there is a V position sideways bared to the racket."
