Is new World Record Smash Already broken In TC

[kristian]

Is anybody can confirm taht new World Record Smash Already broken
By Lin Dan in thomas Cup.Thank U very MUch

[gendruw]

i dont think so, LD was at 329 while the world's record is at 332 if i'm not mistaken.

[masjoko]

nope, it was mistake by the commentator

[Chibot]

So, Fu Haifeng still hold the smash record then

[xXazn_romeoXx]

wow singles 329?! isn't that a new singles record then? i believe taufik's singles record was still 312 or something right? can someone confirm singles record?

[lelynx]

From wikipedia... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badminton

Men's doubles player Fu Haifeng (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fu_Haifeng) of China set the official world smash record of 332 km/h (206 mph) on June 3, 2005 in the Sudirman Cup (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudirman_Cup). The fastest smash recorded in the singles competition is 305 km/h (189 mph) by Taufik Hidayat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taufik_Hidayat) of Indonesia.[17] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badminton#cite_note-16)

so it is broken!! Lin Dan!! does anyone know which match it was? i wanna see it..

[gendruw]

Lin Dan vs Park Sung Hwan on final Thomas Cup 2008

[llpjlau]

so it is broken!! Lin Dan!! does anyone know which match it was? i wanna see it..

mistake by commentator...

[xXazn_romeoXx]

so it's not? what was the speed then?

[llpjlau]

i was told that it was in fact 235km/h instead of 335km/h which would've passed FHF's 332km/h.

[Jinky]

oh, coz i also heard from the TV that LD did a 339km/h jump smash...

[Qidong]

i was told that it was in fact 235km/h instead of 335km/h which would've passed FHF's 332km/h.

235km/h? Too slow from a top pro. :confused:

[ye333]

It may be sliced. 235km/h is common for LCW. It's a little bit slow for LD though. But on the other hand, most of LD's smashes (even seemingly full power ones) are around 280 - 290, still pretty far from 332. :cool:


235km/h? Too slow from a top pro. :confused:

[jamesd20]

just to clarify. If Lin Dan did hit a smash of 329kmh then this would be a record for fastest smash for a singles player, but not the fastest smash overall, which would still be Fu at 332kmh.

[ants]

Lindan didnt have any smashes more than 300 kmh in the final against Park.

[drifit]

just to clarify. If Lin Dan did hit a smash of 329kmh then this would be a record for fastest smash for a singles player, but not the fastest smash overall, which would still be Fu at 332kmh.

yes, it will be for single.
yet, we need confirmation from IBF for this?
or, we assume or take granted that this is the new record?

[jimbo]

I noticed JungJS (LeeYonDe's partner) and ZhengZB also have very powerful smashes even in the rubber game :eek: ZZB broke one of his rackets during the match against KOR MD2...

[-agret-]

mistake by commentator..
fu haifeng still hold the record..
332km/h

[ye333]

Check http://bbs.badmintoncn.com/thread-37508-1-1.html if you cannot see the image.

Anyone can explain?

Personally it's hard for me to believe LD can smash that hard. Never seen him smash >310km before.

[llpjlau]

the picture shows 339km/h. if this is true, then LD would be the new record holder. there is no confirmation yet.
i heard that the commentator did admit that it was his mistake and was indeed 239km/h. so... we'll have to wait and see.

[lelynx]

the commentator (Gillian) hv checked with the person whom are monitoring the shuttle speed and i heard that it is 239km/h, not 339km/h...
mistake in entering the figures...

[jimbo]

During the MD matches, I had repeatedly monitored the "big plasma" that was showing the speed of the shuttle... NEVER had I seen any 300++km/h... so, NO ONE had broken the record... FHF still holds the record, i believe so... :eek:

At the Japan Open 2009 Tan Boon Heong set the world record for badminton smashes at 421 km/h.

Discussed a billion times before. This is not an official speed record.

[kkmh2]

it's not an official BWF but taken as the world record by the Guiness Book of Records. depends how you define 'official' I suppose.

[Yoppy]

Its not on a match at Japan Open 2009, but on a test trial/demo for Arc ZS. So cant be compared. The smash it self is recorded by GBR, but not on BWF record because its not in a match situation.

[AurorAX]

Is it really in Guiness? I highly doubt it because Guiness asks for reproducible results, with their officials present. Or else any car manufacturer can say "O my car goes to 270mph in our lab! No problem!!"

I think it is official made under guiness controlled and repeated.. But the way of measurment was very different.. in the Yonex test they use a highspeed camera and then calculates the initial speed of the millseconds when the shuttle leaves the stringbed.

the BWF records (332 km/h and the ones you see on TV during thomas cup are radar speeds much like when you measuer tennis serves etc. with a radar gun.. so the speeds are not really comparable.

The Yonex speed is quite uninteresting as there are no other similar speed tests to compare it to..

Its like introducing a new car telling everyone it does 0-3mph in 0,1 seconds.. this accelleration figure is quite menaingless if every other car maker uses 0-60mph as measurment..

Guiness does not have representatives present at all records, but will outline the controls & recordings of events in order that they are ratified against their own criteria.

On the subject of a controlled environment (ie not a competitive match) I believe Simon Archers record (264kph) was done under controlled conditions.

u have a point there...

from thomas cup 2010...

I would say... on average players' smashes are around
woman single 220kmh
women double 250kmph
men single 260kmph
men doubles 280kmph

Taufik men single record of 318kpmh & Fu Hai Feng 332kmph are very rare...

[blindaim]

who will believe a monkey can smash 400Km/h ???

A King Kong maybe? :D:D

Read page 2 to make yourself clearer.It is done in the lab,not in the match..:p

[madbad]

As far as I can recall, none of the smashes displayed came remotely close 300 kph at this TC/UC. 280+ kph was the top end for men's. I think 240+ kph for women's.

[cooler]

No top speed of speed records should be compared between them if they are measured by different machine or method. End of story.

imagine if the shuttle hits the opponent and then there's a hole in his body XD

Not trying to confirmed anything. Yonex has a poster at 2010 TC in Malaysia showing TBH breaking the smashing speed record, with a Guinness certificate. I have posted the photos in the following. See photo 4 & 5

they try to discredit and dont want to admit something who yonex and gwr already admit and verify.

hehe
limsy
i am looking forward one day
to your new 700km/h smash record
with new top of the line yonex radar gun from 2020...
hahahahahahah.. ^^ :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:p:D:D:D

--
on a more serious note though
IMHO, they should try to keep measuring variables consistent
such as the type of radar gun...
or else, the results are meaningless.
Some international body (BWF) needs to regulate this...

well, I guess the 421km/h is better from a marketing point of view.. :D
imagine saying to a friend, who plays tennis:
"you think tennis is tough, badminton shuttlecock has reached speeds of ____km/h!!" :D:D

having to explain this to whoever... in a lawsuit!?!? :D

hmm.. if this is to happen :p
badminton all of a sudden
has become a deadly sport :o:D
The shuttlecock comparable to a bullet.... :p:D
