Do you know about badminton? Most people know badminton. However, padminton is another sport that many people do not know. It is a new sport that combines table tennis and badminton. It is played using a padminton racket, similar to a table tennis racket, over a net, and a shuttlecock is passed back and forth in the same way as badminton. I will tell you about the rules, materials, and technologies of padminton.

To start with, I will tell you the rules of padminton. The team that hits the shuttlecock with the racket and makes the ball fall into the opponent’s court scores a point. It consists of a total of 3 sets, and the team that scores 15 points first in one set wins. It is a best-of-three system. If the score of both teams is 14:14, the team that scores 2 points first and reaches 16 points wins. You cannot hit the shuttlecock beyond the net, and you must not touch the net during the game.

Next, the materials for the game are simple. All you need is just three things. They are the shuttlecock, handler and net. The handler is made of a rubber material attached to a hard plastic or wooden board, and has a grooved handle. It is usually about 20cm wide and 26cm long. The shuttlecock is the same as the shuttlecock used in badminton, and a feathered or plastic shuttlecock is used. A 1.5m high net is placed in the center of the court, just like in badminton. There is a 1m service line based on the net. Additionally, the court is 2m wide.

Last but not least, there are some effective technologies that we could use when playing padminton. Overhand: Hitting a ball coming over your head. Underend: Hitting a ball coming below your waist by lifting it up from below. Backhand: Hitting a ball coming to the left side of your body with the racket on the back of your hand. Sidearm: Hitting a ball coming from above your waist to your shoulder line. Smash: Used when you are hitting a ball at the top of your head. Push: Used when you are hitting a ball coming to your chest with force.


All in all, padminton is a sport that all people can enjoy together. You should remember the rules, materials, and technologies of padminton. Now, are you ready to enjoy padminton?
