Best books to learn Badminton, in order
Badminton looks casual and plays brutally technical, so the order is fundamentals before flash. Learn grips and footwork first, then the strokes — clears, drops, smashes — then tactics and deception in match play. Fix your split-step and grip changes early, because the flashy jump smash only works once the footwork gets you there in balance, and strategy only helps once the shots land.
