to all the pros here, can u guys please guide the right way to grip the badminton grip? and i hope that u guys provide the photo to make it clear and easy to understand. thanks
uh quite simple, hold the racquet so you can not see the string bed, your hand should form a v shape. ||<---racquet head(with no visible strings) || :<----shaft : V<----grip
That reminds us to start a new post and head as "How to use a Badminton Racket" Erm ...actually i haven't seen people doing overgrips (my racquets are overgripped by the shop ppls ....) so i dont know =.=|||
Assuming this is an overgrip (not a replacement grip), the process is fairly straight forward. There should be an angled part on the strip of grip (haha that rhymes...) which kind of looks like it has been cut off (compared to the rest of the grip) That part shoudl have a little piece of paper on it which keeps the sticky part moist. Remove the paper and place the angled part parallel to the base of the handle. This is important because this allows the rest of the grip to be angled as opposed to straight (don't know if that's confusing for you). Once the grip is stuck on the bottom, proceed to wrapping the grip aroundn the handle. This is usually a personal part, because you can either wrap it fairly 'compactly' and have the endof the overgirp just reaching the cone. Or, my personal preference, wrap the grip fairly evenly (not too compactly) and have it end at the top of the cone. I like my grips on the top of the cone Then use the supplied tape to secure the grip to the handle/cone/shaft; wherever it ends up. If you end up on the shaft, you probably will find that you won't use much tape. If you require diagrams or pictures, I can provide you with some. I may have to regrip some racquets.
Actually, the grip is supposed to (Gollum says that this grips is correct, as well as my coach) that your thumb should should be resting flat in the largest side bevel, so the V formed by your thumb and index finger is around the bevel between the largest, one, and the side bevel (the diagonal). Just being a bit nitpicky XD.
ohhohh molohov could provide some pics pleaaaase? i think i understand the gist of it, but some pics would be ever so great =D
I did a search on the internet about this before and found a good little video clip. It is generally recommended that when you start to grip the handle, you wrap the grip round one and a half times before you start to move up the handle. But my advice is give it a go, it makes much more sense when you try it, and tho the idea can be a bit scary when you try it it's actually not that hard. Honest.
hey, i can post pictures when i get home from work tonight. what should i use; neon blue super grap or black mesh grap?
i wonder if you mean this www.badmintoncentral.com/badminton-central/content/view/41/33/ just curious...
you want photos.... try this www.tennis-warehouse.com/LC/Regripping/Regripping.html if just want to put overgrip, just ignore the taking off the original grip, just wrap over similiar to the webpage shown
I tried to find the clip to post it but couldn't find it and was a bit pushed for time. But I will try to find it again.
Wrapping an overgrip Hey everyone. Sorry for the late reply. Here is my pic tutorial grapping it up! 1. The neon-blue grap. Notice the paper covering the adhesive on the cut part. 2. The old grip on my racquet. It may look in good condition, but its lost most of its...tackiness. 3. I remove the paper, and apply the grap to my racquet as so. Note how its 'parallel' to the base of the handle. 4. Peeling the plastic off the grap: 5. Starting to wrap the grap. Make sure you wrap it tightly. This can be done by pulling on the grap (fairly hard) as you rotate the handle. 6. One variation: wrapped to the base of the cone on the handle. I won't use this. In this situation, you'd cut the grap so that its parallel to the base of the cone then tape the grip with the provided tape. 7. My method: gripping on the cone. To do this well, the grap needs to be pulled even tighter as you wrap the cone because its smaller than the handle. 8. Taping the grip down. Make sure this is pretty tight, too. 9. One very mismatched color-schemed AT800 DEF, but the grip is tacky at least. Smells good, too. I believe grips are very important; perhaps more than strings. Hopefully this has helped anyone who reads it. Cheers!
