Hello everyone, I have been looking for a sport for long time to stop being so sedentary, but didn't find any interesting for me. Now I have found badminton and I think I have finally found the one I was looking for: Looks exciting, can be sociable, and not too expensive (well, this is debatable...). My goal is to practice it just for fun, not in competition (i am over 40), but I enjoy learning the correct technique. I cannot afford a coach at this moment so my plan is to teach myself watching videos. I felt overwhelmed when I saw how many different strokes I have to learn, so I didn't know where to start. After watching some videos I think this can be the first strokes I should learn, starting from the easiest to avoid frustration: Grip Backhand serve Forehand serve Neutral net shot Forehand drive Backhand drive Forehand clear Sounds like a plan?
Yep, good plan... And welcome to BC! Probably grip and forehand clear should be first on the list. Here's where you should get started. www.badmintonbible.com
welcome. take your time to pick up the game and enjoy the game. age is just a number. i am one short of the big 50 but play with ppl half my age. all for the fun of it and to have a good sweat.
