The main differences between tennis rackets and badminton rackets are reflected in the material, weight, size and functional design, the specific differences can be summarized in the following five aspects:

Weight and Size
Tennis racquets: usually weigh between 270-330 grams, have a larger racket face (95-110 square inches), a length of about 68.58 centimeters, and a thicker frame to withstand high-intensity strokes.

Badminton rackets: lighter weight (80-100 grams), smaller racket face (70-80 square inches), length about 66 cm, thinner frame for flexibility.

Materials and Construction
Tennis racket: Mostly carbon fiber, aluminum alloy and other high-strength materials, focusing on impact resistance and stability, some high-end models use composite materials to improve shock absorption performance.

Badminton racket: mainly made of carbon fiber and titanium alloy, emphasizing the elasticity and flexibility of the racket shaft, which is convenient for quick swing and wrist power.
Hitting Characteristics
Tennis Racket: Designed for power transfer, for groundstrokes and spin control, with a high string weight (up to 60 lbs. or more) to enhance hitting power.

Badminton racquets: Designed for precise ball control and instantaneous explosive power, with lower string weights (usually 20-30 pounds) to facilitate short swings and angle changes.

Applicable Scenarios
Tennis racket: Suitable for different surfaces such as hard court, grass court, red clay court, etc., which requires the whole body to coordinate the power.
Badminton racket: mainly used for indoor courts, emphasizing sharp stops, jumps and wrist skills.

Sports Economy
Tennis Racket: Professional grade equipment is more expensive and needs to be combined with additional costs such as court rental.

Badminton racket: low entry threshold, suitable for mass fitness, indoor and outdoor.

Summary: When choosing a racket, tennis pays more attention to the comprehensive use of strength and endurance, while badminton relies on the instantaneous explosion of speed and skill. There are significant differences between the two in terms of carbon fiber material application, hitting mechanics and sports scenarios.
