Badminton is a racket sport. The sport involves either a one-on-one match or teams of two-v-two wherein the player has to hit a shuttlecock over a net into their fellow competitor’s side. To begin the game, a player must serve (which means hitting the shuttlecock to the counter-player’s side) and the server changes after each round.

If the shuttlecock is hit outside of the opposing player’s ‘W’ shaped area, then the serve or shot doesn’t gain a point as it is outside the playing area. Badminton rackets aren’t too different compared to tennis rackets, the difference being is that the badminton rackets are a lot slimmer, allowing lighter hits to the shuttlecock.
