Whether you are holding a racket for the first time or fixing your serve, we start with the fundamentals. ## Photos and videos - ![The low serve is a crucial shot for starting the rally aggressively.

We break down the panhandle versus the bevel grip so you do not just hold the racket correctly, you learn exactly when to switch between them during a high-speed rally. ### Building a Strong Game At SP Sports Academy, we believe your game is only as strong as your fundamentals. You can have all the energy in the world, but if your grip is wrong, you lose power and control. We don't just teach you to hit the shuttle; we teach you how to read the game. ### The Importance of the Grip The grip is the foundation of every shot. Many players start with a tight, static hold, but that limits your wrist movement. We focus on teaching the bevel and panhandle grips early on. When you know how to switch grips smoothly, you gain the ability to defend smashes with a backhand block or kill the shuttle at the net with precision. ### Serve Strategy A serve isn't just about putting the shuttle in play. A low serve forces your opponent to lift, giving you the attack. A high serve pushes them to the back, exposing their weaker backhand. We drill these scenarios until they are muscle memory. You will often hear us shouting "Pudhil thirty next!" during these drills because we want you to stay sharp and ready for the next move. ### Why Train With Us Whether you are training at our partner locations in Thane, Bhandup, or Airoli, our NIS-certified coaches provide the same level of attention. We use sports science and video analysis to correct your stroke mechanics, ensuring you don't develop bad habits that are hard to break later. We work with beginners, juniors, and adults, adjusting the intensity so you stay challenged without feeling overwhelmed. ## About SP Sports Academy We have been living and breathing badminton at SP Sports Academy since 2009. Our coaches are here to help you get the basics right, because that is the only way to build a winning game. Come join us, get on court, and let's keep smashing.
