   Hi boo you whore, I doubt that you will embarass yourself but it will be different than what you have been used to up until now. The only similarity between the 3 is that they are all racquet sports. Tennis does not involve wrist like racquetball does, it requires alot more running than badminton and the ball is smaller than in racquetball & moves quicker than a shuttlecock. Can you say shuttle…. without it getting exed out? More room to run, fresh air as opposed to indoor, noise and distractions as opposed to 4 walls like in racquetball and a much lower net than badminton.

   From a positive standpoint I think you will love it just as much if not more and play it longer over your lifetime.

   I don’t know anything about badminton, but tennis is nothing like racquetball. In fact, you’ll want to stick to just one or the other, because it will mess up your game trying to do both (or so thats what I’ve heard). A while back, the #1 racquetball pro Cliff Swain (a racquetball hall of fame inductee and considered by many to be the best racquetball player ever) left racquetball for a couple of years to pursue the more lucrative game of tennis. Needless to say, it didnt work out, and he returned to raquetball and reclaimed his #1 standing the first year back.

   in all three games the techniques are different i dont mean to burst your bubble but i think it is best to stick with one!in my case i chose racquetball!

   The stroke is much different in tennis than in badminton/racquetball. Especially in racquetball which is more of a slap shot.

   Just like anything else, practice makes perfect, and you can’t expect to step onto the court and make the team. Try taking a lesson or hitting against a backboard to get a feel for the game and see if you can pick it up in time to make the team. You may find that your facility in handling racquets may help your tennis game. (Just like tennis players are usually pretty good at recreational ping pong).

   Good luck!

   I’d say go for it. You will probably be able to pick tennis up pretty quickly, because you already have the coordination. Now, your form is going to be a little different, as well as the heavier/larger racquet, and tennis is of course a different game, but I assume that you are smart enough to be able to handle that. As far as messing up your game, I wouldn’t be too worried. There might be a little adjusment period, but your body will quickly remember what to do.
