Badminton is a unique sport that differs from other sports in several ways. Here are some of the ways that make badminton different from other sports:
-
Projectile: Unlike many other racket sports, badminton uses a feathered projectile known as a shuttlecock. This makes it the only racket sport, aside from crossminton, that doesnt use a ball.
-
Speed: Badminton is the fastest racket sport on earth, with shuttlecocks flying at speeds of up to 493 km/h.
-
Scoring: A match consists of the best of three games of 21 points. The player/pair winning a rally adds a point to its score. At 20-all, the player/pair gaining a 2-point lead first wins the game. At 29-all, the side scoring the 30th point wins that game.
-
Equipment: Badminton is a non-contact sport and has very light equipment, making it great for all ages.
-
Muscular strength: Badminton increases muscular strength and strong the human brain.
-
Serving: In tennis, the players get two chances to serve. When the tennis ball bounces one time and ends, the points count. On the other hand, Badminton players get one chance to serve. This game points count ends when the shuttlecock finally falls to the ground or floor.
-
Combination of sports: Badminton is a unique sport because it combines aspects of both tennis and squash.
In summary, badminton is different from other sports because of its unique projectile, speed, scoring, equipment, serving, and combination of sports.
