Why do cold balls bounce lighter than warm balls?
In general, as gases warm up or increase in temperature, they expand.
As the ball warms up from undergoing a 'hit-up', the gas inside the ball expands, thus exerting a greater pressure outwards against the inner walls of the ball ... so that when the ball is hit by a hard object, it does not depress to the same degree as when the gas is exerting less inside pressure against its walls, as when cool.
Hence the ball recoils quicker and sooner - back to its pre-contact shape and therefore bounces or deflects off the racquet with more speed and force.
How do they start scoring in Tennis and Badminton?
Tennis and badminton are actually very different. They don't score the same way.
In tennis, it starts with love, 15, 30, 45, deuce or game. You always say your score first, then the opponent's. Love love, fifteen love, thirty love, fourty-five love. Deuce. Add in, add out. Deuce in when both sides have fourty-five (three points) If you play with add (or advantage) then you have to win two more points after reaching deuce. If you don't play with add, then after reaching deuce, you only have to win one more point.
In badminton, you play to 21, and you score with normal scoring. 0,0 you would start with, whoever gets the point has a new score of 1. Much less weird :)
Definition of rally point system?
Rally scoring in volleyball is where a point is given after each play. Before rally scoring, only the serving team could score a point. With rally scoring, either team has a chance at the point. Rally scoring has two benefits:
1. Speeds up the play. Games could drag on and on if the serving team kept siding out.
2. Rewards good defense. Knowing that you have a chance to score even if you're not serving allows a team to be more aggressive
Why are strings on a squash racquet hollow?
There are no hollow core squash racket strings, though they do exist for tennis.
There are two main types of string design in strings used for squash: monofilament & multifilament.
Monofilament strings are a single solid material while multifilament strings are braided and have no central core. Monofilament strings tend to be more durable but typically transfer more shock to the arm while multifilament strings have a softer feel at impact and are closer in playability to natural gut.
