Play Badminton

I and my colleagues play badminton twice a week and 2 hours both because it makes me relax and healthy. I play for a good two hours continuously with minimal breaks just to drink and replenish. I play tennis since I was 7 years old. I never played as the duo though. I am always a single player.

In tennis, I went all out trying to play as fast as I could with the energy I had so I am a badminton duo bum. I am not very good at it but I enjoy the game.

I choose tennis over badminton. Do you know the main difference between badminton and tennis? They are just completely different sports. The net is higher in badminton, the court is also smaller. Tennis has a ball that can bounce once before hitting it.

Contrary to popular belief badminton is actually the faster sport, and to be honest I think you need to be fitter to play it than you do tennis. You need faster reactions for badminton, particularly doubles. If you look at the tops guys in tennis, they tend to be over 6 foot, big sturdy guys. This is an ideal physique for tennis but not badminton. Top badminton singles players tend to be a lot leaner, although height is still an advantage.
