What is the main difference between badminton and tennis?
Is one a lot harder than the other? I know how to basically play both games, but why would some people choose badminton over tennis, or tennis over badminton? Thanks!
I play both to a reasonable standard. I don't think one is necessarily harder than the other they are just completely different sports which ostensibly both depend on hand-eye coordination. 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.
I think badminton doesn't get the exposure it deserves purely because for whatever reason it doesn't come across as well on TV as tennis does.

Badminton and Tennis
Will badminton experience help me out in Tennis?
Ever since freshman year, I've noticed that I've been getting really good at Badminton (I play it almost everyday) - however, there isn't a badminton sport at my school. Because I haven't joined a sport yet and am going to become a Junior this year, I plan on joining tennis and was wondering that if being good at badminton will also help me be good at tennis as well?
And if anything, since its summer right now, what exercises would be good to help me prepare better for Tennis?
I have to agree with everybody here. What's that you say? Answers are divided so far? The real answer to this is 'yes and no'.
It can help with certain aspects of tennis. Like, you are already used to hitting a moving object with a racquet. Basically, you'll probably reach the point where the racquet feels more like an extension of your own body faster than somebody who hasn't had your experience in badminton.
Also, you probably have pretty decent reactions as well. Quick reactions don't need to be learned by playing tennis in order for them to help with tennis.
And on top of that, you should already be used to the side-to-side movements involved in tennis.
However, the game is completely different. The strategies you have to use aren't the same. There may be some similarities, but there will also be glaring differences.
And the form is completely different. I've tried using my tennis form for badminton before (just for fun). Failure. No matter how hard you try, you just can't use topspin in badminton. And if you try to use your badminton strokes in tennis, you're probably going to hit the ball long every shot. You'll have to learn to flatten out the ball, and ideally add topspin.
As far as what to do this summer, the best advice is to get out and play some tennis. Then you can draw your own conclusions as to the similarities and differences. If you can afford it, find somebody to take a few lessons from. As far as fitness, you're probably fine with just playing badminton every day. If you want to, running is always a good choice for conditioning.
As a tennis player, I have noticed that picking up other racquet sports is typically easy for me, mostly because of these trends here. They kinda run through all racquet sports. But if I wanted to reach a true competitive level in badminton or racquetball, I'd have a long way to go.
