TENNIS OR PADDLE?

Many people thinks that they're the same thing like, they say : "If you're good at tennis you've to be good at paddle!" But that's not true at all, they have many differences

It's true that tennis requires more strength and it gets more time to finish a game but, in the other hand, paddle is much faster and it has its own technique too.

First, there are many aspects that they have in common, that's true ( They're both played with a racquet, with a small green ball, they have two sides with a net in the middle...)

However, there are some differences between those characteristics:

For example, tennis courts are much longer than paddle's ones, and they dont have walls and a fence, as paddle does. The racquets are so much different too, paddle racquets are shorter, with some gaps inside and tennis racquets are large, with some intertwined threads, with a metal ellipse around and the main difference with the balls is that paddle's balls are heavier than tennis' balls.

To sum up,although tennis is played all around the world, i would choose paddle as the best racquet sport, because it's always played between four players ( two by team ) and it's more funny from my point of view.
