Is there a difference in a badminton racket and a tennis racket?

Answer by  cb81 (613)

Yes, there is a difference. A badminton racket is lighter, shorter and quicker to swing than a tennis racket. A tennis racket has a much bigger face surface area, too.

Generally they are the same but the differences are major. A badminton racket is a lot lighter than a tennis racket and the strings are a lot thinner. You would never be able to hit a tennis ball with a badminton racket because it will break. Tennis rackets are also made of much sturdier materials like graphite.

The difference between a badminton racket and tennis racket is that racket for tennis is longer. The webbing area is much larger than the one used for badminton. There is also a longer shaft for the grip area for a tennis racket.

They are actually very different. A badmitton racket has a longer shaft and a smaller head than a tennis one does.
