Interesting comparisons to other racket sports, where each person takes away something a bit different than the other. Yes the ball may be slower than a tennis ball and less heavy or dense, yet it can travel faster between paddles than a tennis ball does between rackets. That's also because it travels over shorter distances on a smaller court as well.
ReplyDeleteThat often happens at the net or the NV zone, aka 'kitchen'with volley exchanges in rapid fire kinda like competitive Badminton.
Some people think of it as table tennis on a floor. Others see it as a mini tennis game which is played on a badminton doubles court. Whatever way you look at it, it's a fun sport with some very real challenges, resembling the others and sometimes not.
So, all things considered, it makes for a game for all all ages and both genders.
I really do see the better players as having a tennis type stroke than anything else, with some wristy touches from badminton and table tennis. Fascinating.
Cool
