  What are the difference between tennis, soft tennis and squash? I would like to help you to recognize them, and it will be very difficult for you to mistake them again.

  1. Squash

  In a squash game, you can see two people standing on the same side. They will try their best to manage the ball in the court and to prevent their opponent from returning the ball. As you can see in the picture, all the directions of the wall can be used to bounce the ball , including the glass wall and the entry door.
  By the way, squash originate from a jail, where the prisoners were so boring that they hit balls against the wall in their room.

  Soft tennis looks very similar to tennis, however, some different should be highlighted. First, soft tennis ball is made of rubber. Second, soft tennis player use the same face of racket to make a backhand stroke as the forehand. Third, the rate of the ball may be faster than tennis.
  By the way, soft tennis is a source of medal to our national team in the Asian sports games.
