How Does Badminton Court Mat Work?

A badminton court is usually laid on a wooden floor with synthetic mats used as the surface of the court. The courts are meant to provide cushion and comfort to shuttlers who crisscross the playing surface to deceive their opponents with smashes and clever strokes to win points. Hence keeping the court surface prim and proper is mandatory.

A badminton court provides for two types of competition -- singles and doubles. The lines of the court are accordingly drawn.

Badminton court size

As per the guidelines laid down by the Badminton World Federation (BWF), the length of a standard badminton court remains the same - 13.40m (44 feet) - for both types of competitions. But the width differs with the singles court running wide till 5.18m (17 feet), denoted by the side lines, while for the doubles court, the width is extended to 6.1m (20 feet), marked as the doubles sidelines. The full court measures 14.723m diagonally.

The court has two halves measuring 6.7m (22 feet) each and separated by a badminton net that stands at a height of 1.55m (5 feet 1in) at the ends and dips to 1.52m (5 feet) in the middle.

The two playing areas on either side of the net are further vertically divided down the middle demarking the service areas. This means a badminton court has four service courts each of which is 3.88m (12.72 feet) long and 2.53m (8.3 feet) wide.

With laws of badminton dictating specific rules for service in badminton, the court has two service lines, the short service line, which is 1.98m (6.5 feet) from the net, and long service line 0.72m (2.36 feet) in from the baseline, specifically marked for this purpose.

In singles, the service needs to be beyond the short service line and within the boundary lines while in the doubles game, the service should be beyond the short service line but it’s the long service line that acts as the marker on the backcourt. This means, in doubles the serve length is shorter than in singles.

I just want to inquire with you guys what are your opinion on badminton courts flooring conditions. I know most of the courts covered with are Taraflex mats or similar, but underneath these mats, there are cement floors and there are wooden floors. What should be the "standard" or "ideal" flooring underneath these mats? I would like to know how the badminton courts' floorings are constructed in the other countries.

I noticed that most of the badminton courts in my country have cement floors underneath the Taraflex mats except for a couple of clubs that have wooden floors underneath.

Reason for this inquiry is I would like to know if there is a difference in the impact of say the cement floor on a player's knees and feet since cement floors would relatively be harder than wooden floors.

Thanks. Taraflex is a brand of rubber mats. I am sure there are other brands as well. What I am more concerned of is whats underneath these mats - cement or wood. I went thru the search but could not come out with anything substantial. Is there a standard? IS there anything about this in other sites ie. IBF, etc? Thanks guys abd Kwun for the nice attachment.

Ya, normally the building is concrete but what they do here in my club is that they put a layer of wooden floor and then laid the Taraflex or rubber mat on top of the wooden floor.

The reason I asked is that a lot of badminton courts are being built here in my city and they have rubber mats laid on top of concrete floors. I have some friends who played on these surfaces and they complained of knee pains afterwards. I am planning to join one of these new club but hesitated when I heard about the problem.

So I just need the opinion of you guys if most of the courts that you guys play on are wooden or concrete.

Thanks.

Yes of course their is a different a wooden floor is much more healthier for players as it is more flexible and better for the bones/knees/legs etc. a cement flooring is very hart and have a different impact on the body specielly for pro players because of the jumping smash.....etc. wow .. their courts seems to be much better than those in S'pore ... for me, i usually visit community centres and most of them are floored with tiles .. .. any stamping or landing after a jump will create a pretty bad impact ...

lol..

i know exactly what you mean. i've played in many places in my relatively short (10 years) court career.

my home hall is concrete with tiles over.. very hard on the knees and lower back.. most of our older members have knee supports. mine are starting to give after 10 years.. working out in the gym helps reduce the injury probability tho. given me bad callouses on my feet too tho (

another regular venue seems to be some sort of rubberised top surface - but i would guess it's on top of concrete because that's quite hard on the knees, very nice surface tho - a lot like the mats your talking about.

another v. good venue altho it's a bit slippy because it's been worn in.. sprung wooden floor.. it actually feels springy.. it's great - you can leap and bound and i'm sure you get better feel off the floor..

wooden flloors rule!!

lol - ours aren't quite that bad... i literally drip all over teh court and don't have any grip problems.. our courts are swept by my brother (since he works there) before our matches and club nights tho
