Badminton and tennis court have been mistaken many times. So, it is essential to understand the difference between these two sports before taking part in them.

Let me explain, but before discussing Badminton court vs Tennis Court,  Let’s take a look into the general differences between badminton and Tennis

Badminton vs Tennis

While both of these sports require players to hit a ball over the net with the racquet and use their feet to prevent other players from doing so, there are plenty of differences.

Badminton vs Tennis Rackets

Tennis rackets and badminton rackets have many similarities but also a few differences. The most noticeable difference is that tennis rackets are slightly larger than badminton rackets, which are more comparable in size to the racket used to play squash. Tennis has been played with a wooden racket since its inception in the late 1800s, whereas badminton hails from a much older game called battledore and shuttlecock. The badminton racket has changed a lot since its invention, and today is a much more sturdy racket than it was originally.

Tennis rackets are traditionally strung with nylon strings, nearly all badminton rackets are strung with synthetic strings, but some of the better quality ones use natural gut. They are also both very light in comparison to other racquet sports such as squash and racquetball.

The tennis racket is more flexible than a badminton racket and is smaller. To hit a ball in tennis, the player must create more power than with a badminton racket. Tennis rackets are strung with an open string pattern and wider than badminton rackets.

The string pattern in a tennis racket allows for the head to be bigger, which allows for more power when swinging. Badminton rackets are strung with a closed string pattern and are not as wide as their counterpart.

Badminton Net vs Tennis Net

A badminton net has a diameter of 14-28 inches, while a tennis net is 24-32 inches in diameter. A badminton net can be strung with 3 to 7 strings while a tennis net has 6 to 8 strings. Badminton typically has 4 parallel poles, and the poles are 10-12 feet apart from each other, whereas a tennis court is 16 feet wide and 32 feet long.

Badminton nets can be strung with 5 to 8 strings for a band, and 6 to 10 strings for a double, and the higher the number of strings, the bigger the net.

Badminton nets have no net tension because there are no stringers and no pole pockets in the badminton net. The tension in tennis nets comes from the poles pocketing into them through a frame, which is not present in badminton nets. Traditionally both badminton net and tennis net are made of twisted wire. Nowadays, some nets are made of fiberglass.

As mentioned above, badminton nets have no net tension because they do not have stringers and pole pockets. This affects the playability of the ball when you hit it because when a player has hit the ball, it can roll all over the court. After all, the stringers have no tension in them.

Also, badminton nets are thinner than tennis nets; thus the illuminance of the court is less. However, in the case of a badminton net, a player can not play under it because its stringers will break. In the case of a tennis net, however, you can use it to cover the court while hitting shots on it.

The Badminton net is more expensive than the tennis net, but it’s also of higher quality. A badminton net can last up to ten years when taken care of properly. A tennis net will last less than a year.

A badminton net is made with heavier fabric so it’s more durable and lasts longer.

The back and sides of the net are made with much thicker mesh to prevent the ball from slipping through. The net is also made with thicker metal cables which are more durable than those on a tennis net.

A badminton net has a diamond pattern which makes it stronger and helps it maintain an even shape.

The back and sides of the net are made with much thicker mesh to prevent the shuttle from slipping through. The net is also made with thicker metal cables which are more durable than those on a tennis net.

Badminton Court vs Tennis Court

there are many types of courts including Soccer, Volleyball, Handball, Basketball in addition to Tennis and badminton courts. Here we discuss the topic of Badminton court vs Tennis Court.

BADMINTON COURT

The Badminton court is smaller in size as compared to the tennis court, but it also has less net. There are two lines of singles and doubles on each side with a central service line for doubles. The Badminton Court is usually 6 feet wide and 16 feet long. The net is only 5.1 feet high.

It is the most popular outdoor sport in the Philippines. A badminton court can now be found at almost every schoolyard and community center in the country. It is also practiced in many subdivisions, barangays, and towns of the province.

The badminton court has a difficult surface to play on due to its unevenness as compared to a tennis court. It also has less bounce than a

with its flat surface.

Badminton is a very challenging sport for junior and senior high school students. It was originally played by smaller players to keep them active after school hours. The badminton court was the first court designed for recreational outdoor sports in the Philippines, thus resulting in the expansion of the sport throughout the country. The Badminton Court has become one of the most popular sports in Manila and other parts of Luzon.

TENNIS COURT

There’s a common myth that a Tennis court measures 12 feet long and 6 feet wide, but tennis courts can actually be measured in any number of varieties depending on the specific style of surface and whether it has a clay or grass surface. The measurements are 12-by-6 for an all-clay surface, 11-by-7 for a full all-grass court, 10.5×8 for a hardwood surface with synthetic turfs, 10×9 for an artificial grass Surface with natural turf, and more.

A tennis court consists of a playing surface and a net affixed to two vertical supports called the posts or rackets. The net is 2.74 meters high at the posts and 3 meters high at the center. Tennis is played on a variety of surfaces, flat as well as for hills, with hard surfaces both clay and grass. The court can be either indoors; under a roofed structure or outdoors.

► Outdoor courts are considered de facto standards, serving as the reference point for all other types of courts.

► Indoor courts can be of various types.

Most people think that the tennis court is 12 feet by 6 feet, but in reality, it’s a lot more concept than that. The playing surface is known as the ‘court’ and thus the actual width of the court is determined by what’s possible to fit on the playing surface. This may be, for example, 3 meters for a regulation tennis court which actually only measures about 11 meters wide.

Some courts are smaller than regulation size, others are much larger; some games are played on an all-grass arena, others are only played indoors on an all-clay indoor court. The only thing that remains consistent throughout all types of surfaces is that they measure 2.74 meters at the posts and 3 meters at the center of the net.

All-Clay courts are generally 11 by 7. The widths of clay courts can vary greatly, with some using extra-wide surfaces measuring 18 to 19 feet wide at the baseline. Sometimes it is standard to have half a court dedicated to being a practice court, using regulation size dimensions. These courts are often half-court tennis courts since they are open without a roof or canopy over them; they are commonly found on college campuses as well as in special programs used to teach children where they can safely learn and practice their skills.
