What is the fastest ball game?

As people in modern society pay more and more attention to sports, many friends have clearly realized that life lies in sports, so they will take some time out of their busy work to go outdoors for sports exercises. In order to exercise the flexibility of their hands and feet, many friends will play some ball sports. So what is the fastest ball sport? Faced with this question, let me discuss it with my friends in the following time.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the maximum speed of badminton exceeds that of squash and tennis, reaching 261 kilometers per hour (the maximum speeds of squash and tennis are 243 kilometers and 230 kilometers per hour respectively), ranking first among racket sports.

This badminton record was set by Archer, a member of the British badminton team participating in the Olympics, in November 1992. Badminton coach Littler, who was present to watch this record-breaking performance, believes that this record will be difficult to break, because it requires not only superb skills and consistent tenacity, but also powerful smashes that can make the ball generate extremely high speeds in an instant. It is difficult for anyone to do this.

Badminton World Federation technical expert Bowditch pointed out that the record-breaking speed of badminton balls proves that it is a highly competitive sport. The qualities required to play badminton well are much higher than those for other racket sports, and the wrist strength and balance skills required are not possessed by other racket sports. When a badminton is smashed hard, it rotates in a circular motion, and because of its light weight, the ball moves very fast.

Chinese badminton doubles player Fu Haifeng currently maintains a top ball speed of 332 kilometers per hour, almost as fast as the fastest F1 car.

If calculated based on the ball speed of 261 kilometers per hour, it only takes 0.184 seconds for the badminton to fly across the 13.4-meter-long badminton court. In other words, the athlete must complete the reactions and actions including judgment, starting, moving, getting in place and hitting the ball within 0.184 seconds. You can imagine how difficult it is.

The above paragraphs introduce us to the fastest ball sports in detail. I believe that as long as friends read the above content carefully, they will have a deeper understanding and more proficient mastery of these sports. Of course, I still want to tell you that when we exercise, we must do it within our ability and never exceed our capabilities, so as to avoid accidents.
