How do Pickle ball and Badminton differ

Pickleball and badminton, while similar in some respects, have key distinctions that set them apart.

Court Size and Setup: Pickleball courts are smaller than badminton courts, measuring 20x44 feet compared to 44x20 feet. Pickleball has a non-volley zone near the net, while badminton does not.

Equipment: Pickleball paddles are smaller and thicker than badminton rackets, and their strings are made of hard plastic instead of nylon. Pickleballs are made of plastic and smaller than badminton shuttlecocks, which have a feathered cork base and a nylon skirt.

Gameplay: In pickleball, the serve must bounce before passing the net, and players can volley after the second bounce. In badminton, serves can be hit directly over the net, and volleys are allowed at any time. Pickleball involves more groundstrokes and dinking (hitting short, soft shots), while badminton emphasizes fast-paced volleying and overhead shots.

Scoring: Pickleball matches are typically played to 11 or 15 points, while badminton matches are played to 21 points. In pickleball, points can only be scored by the serving team, whereas in badminton, both teams can score.

Commonalities: Both pickleball and badminton are played with a paddle or racket and a ball or shuttlecock. They involve quick reflexes, hand-eye coordination, and strategic shot placement. Both sports provide a great cardiovascular workout and promote social interaction.
