Not sure though.

i heard chen hong took up the racket by the influence of his father.. not sure

What about the Sidek family??? Surely from young age or?

Lee Wan Wah's biography in the Athens Olympics website stated that he started playing at 13. I wonder which is which....:rolleyes: It also said Choong started playing at 10.

It's not really about the age they start at, it's about how much time they spent training and practicing ;)

to be an ordinary pro, one needs commitment and correct techniques from day one; to be a top pro, one needs talent
