I'm learning tennis, I've learned a bit of badminton before, I like doubles, not singles. Not to mention professional, let's talk about it from the perspective of an amateur.
The common denominator is that they all have a certain threshold. First of all, there are economic thresholds, badminton and tennis, whether it is a racket, a court or a learning ball, they need a little spare money and leisure time. There is also a threshold in technology, and you need to pass this threshold before you can fight against others, that is, to get started. The threshold of badminton lies in the high and far ball, and the threshold of tennis I think is the forehand and backhand. The killing technique of badminton is very similar to the serving technique of tennis, and those who can kill the ball in badminton have an innate advantage in learning to serve in tennis. I don't know how to play table tennis, but I am busy guessing that people who can play horizontal boarding, and learning tennis also has an innate advantage.
The difference is also significant. In terms of cost, because I am in the United States, the time cost of playing badminton is greater than that of tennis. Badminton is mainly only popular among Asians in the United States, so there are not many courts, unlike tennis, which have courts in the community. Badminton requires no wind, so it must be indoors, and many badminton courts in the United States are actually converted from warehouses. The low penetration rate and the lack of venues make it normal for you to drive to a farther place if you want to badminton, and an hour round trip is the norm. In China, there are a lot of badminton courts, especially in big cities, and there are not so many tennis courts. I haven't played tennis in my country, so I don't know how much it will cost.
The technical differences are also significant. Badminton is characterized by high intensity, second only to water polo, and requires a series of speed changes in a short period of time. Badminton is fast, so people who play badminton often react quickly. The pace of tennis is a little slower, after all, the court is large, and tennis cannot be more than 300 kilometers per hour, and players mainly translate left and right. The footwork of badminton is extremely complex and more important than the technique, while the footwork of tennis is relatively simple and the technique is more important. Personally, I think badminton doubles is more interesting, while tennis is more fun in singles.
There are many badminton balls that have to be reached up, while the height of the tennis hitting point is basically between the waist and the shoulders. Badminton hits the ball with a wrist turn, while tennis must not do this, otherwise you will get hurt. The forehand technique of tennis is very counter-intuitive.
Personally, I feel that the learning curve of tennis is much longer than that of badminton. is also batting, I am a 0 basic adult to learn badminton high and far ball, and after two or three weeks, I will be able to play very standard (according to the reminder in the comment area, correct, it is not a standard, but barely able to play, that is, my efforts can get positive feedback.) If you want to play the standard, you have to further temper it). And people with zero foundation learn tennis, and it takes much longer to get this kind of positive feedback. Two people want to play tennis back and forth, which is much more difficult than badminton. Because as long as one side does not have enough foundation, it will hit the ball into the sky. Tennis doesn't slow down as quickly as badminton, it bounces straight to more than ten meters away. A lot of that time was actually picking up the ball. Badminton is very simple to play, even if there is a big gap between the two people's level, the badminton will not fly far away from the court due to the speed attenuation, as long as the side with a high level does not embarrass you, it can be played back to you very comfortably.
In the end, the commercialization of tennis is better than badminton, but that is only relatively good. Whether it's tennis, skiing, or swimming, their popularity in the United States is negligible compared to football, baseball, ice hockey, and basketball. No matter where you are in the world, the most popular sport is always the big ball collective sport, which is the most authentic thing of human beings.
