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

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

nope, it was mistake by the commentator

So, Fu Haifeng still hold the smash record then

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?

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..

Lin Dan vs Park Sung Hwan on final Thomas Cup 2008

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

mistake by commentator...

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

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

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

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:

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:

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.

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

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?

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...

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

Anyone can explain?

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

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.

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...

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:
