Badminton is one of the top racquet sports played all around the world. Badminton is played with a badminton racquet, and a feather shuttlecock in national tournaments and international games. A nylon shuttlecock is used for intramural games or in-school seasonal games. There are various types of badminton racquets for all types of players. There are racquets that would increase your hitting accuracy, some racquets increases your speed, and some helps you even increase your power. There are also different types of nylon shuttlecocks. There are lighter, medium, or harder shuttlecocks. The leading producer of badminton racquets, shuttlecocks, or any badminton equipments is Yonex. Yonex is a company from Japan, and it uses sophisticated engineering technology in producing higher-level equipments for top level players and also for novice or intermediate badminton players.
Badminton is played by either two players, or four players. There is singles Badminton, where one person plays against another player. Furthermore, there is doubles badminton, where two players face against another two players. There are two types of singles badminton: Man's and Woman's singles. But, however, there are three types of doubles badminton: Men's, women's, and mixed. The mixed doubles are played by one male player and a female player of the same team, face against another male player and female player of another team.
There have been a lot of changes in the point system in badminton since the first point system was too long to finish a game. The game is played by two teams; singles' or doubles'. The team that wins a coin toss or any other toss starts the rally. If the rally is to finish without the bird not being in one side of the court, the person in that court gets a point. The game goes until 21, and if there is 20-20, the game goes until one person wins by 2 points, or if they end up having 29-29, the person who gets 30 first is the winner. This point system goes for all types of badminton.
Badminton requires a person's stamina, speed, technique, flexibility, stability, agility, and fast reflexes to win a game. It takes quite a long time to master all techniques, skills, and gain physical and psychological tools to be a professional badminton player. There are lots of strategies and tactics which can be learnt because badminton is not just a game of brawn, but brain too. It also requires team work and coordination if it is a doubles' team. The no.1 badminton player for Men's singles, as of summer 2009, is Lin Dan from China, and the second best badminton player is Lee Chong Wei from Malaysia.
Badminton does not only increases your physical abilities, but it makes your mind stable, builds confidence in yourself and brings out the best of your abilities in you. This is why badminton is one of the top raquets sports in the world.Get a badminton set and start make fun now!
Badminton and it's English History
Imbued in English culture is a love and creator of Sports of all kinds.
I have a website where I have listed and linked to the 100+ various sports and games created by us Brits. One of Englands popular games is Badminton which is played by over 1 million people every week. Badminton was originally an English game called "The battledore and shuttlecock Game", an English game about which there are many references as far back as the 1400's. As early as 1860, Isaac Spratt, a London toy dealer, published a booklet, Badminton Battledore - a new game, but unfortunately no copy has survived.
The beginnings of Modern Badminton can be traced to mid-18th century British India, where it was created by British military officers stationed there. Early pictures show Englishmen adding a net to the traditional English game of battledore and shuttlecock. Being particularly popular in the British garrison town Poona (now Pune), the game also came to be known as Poona. Initially, balls of wool were preferred by the upper classes in windy or wet conditions, but ultimately the shuttlecock stuck. This game was taken by retired officers back to England where it developed and rules were set out.
The new sport was definitively launched in 1873 at Badminton House, Gloucester, England and owned by the Duke of Beufort ( The same house and grounds used every year for the Badminton Horse Show ). During that time, the game was referred to as "The Game of Badminton," and the game's official name became Badminton.
The game uses Shuttlecocks which are made up of nylon and feathers instead of balls. Shuttlecocks have been used in English games since the 8th Century.
Until 1887, the sport was played in England under the rules that prevailed in British India. The Bath Badminton Club standardized the rules and made the game applicable to English ideas. The basic regulations were drawn up in 1887. In 1893, the Badminton Association of England published the first set of rules according to these regulations, similar to today's rules, and officially launched badminton in a house called "Dunbar" at 6 Waverley Grove, Southsea, Portsmouth, England on September 13 of that year. They also started the All England Open Badminton Championships, the first badminton competition held in the world, in 1899.
The International Badminton Federation (IBF) (now known as Badminton World Federation) was established in 1934 with the following countries:
-
Canada
-
Denmark
-
England
-
France
-
Holland
-
Ireland
-
New Zealand
-
Scotland
-
Wales
India joined as an affiliate in 1936. The BWF now governs international badminton and develops the sport globally.
I would image during the last 1500 years my family have been playing the many sports developed and created in England and may have led to my family's interest in most sports played in England and given to the world. My older brother Mark is a good example of our sporting prowess. When my brother was 11 years of age and onwards he represented his school in Cricket, Football, Tennis, Badminton, Athletics and when he was 15 years of age he had a Football trial with Portsmouth Football Club and at 16 years of age played for Hampshire juniors at Cricket.
It always amazes me how from a little Island like England we created and gave the world over 100 sports and games that have dominated the world. My family tree has been traced back to the early Kings of England from the 7th. Century AD. This has given me an interest in English history and the sports England have created.

High over the Mojave Desert, the stubby-winged SpaceShipTwo bent itself into a near-right angle shape and plunged nearly straight downward for more than a minute before unfolding and gliding to a runway landing before an excited crowd.
