Tallest Professional Player

[Monster]

I watched the match between Park Sung Hwan and LD in the MS Final Sudirman 2009 and thought LD looks like a kid when playing against PSH. PSH is so tall and the commentator said he is almost 6'2".

I was wondering if BCL is taller and if there are even taller professional players competing.

I've seen this Thai mixed doubles player who is amazingly tall, but I forgot his name and the competition I saw it in. But I think PSH could be the tallest badminton player I've seen. Next to him, isn't Soni DK pretty tall?

I think Hafiz from malaysia is one of the tallest, if i remember correctly. He is probably more than 1.9m or close to that.

Anyone heard of the NZ MS player Craig something? Apparently he joined the 2008 Beijing Olympics in Badminton MS and is 1.95m (6' 4" or 5" ??)

[suetyan]

Korean Kim Mun Hee is very tall also, taller than Tine. BCL, CL and XZB are very tall also (at least 190cm)

[GunBlade008]

Craig Cooper is the guy you're looking for. I think he is 6'4", plays both doubles and mixed for New Zealand

[Skewlz]

[xXazn_romeoXx]

If i'm not mistaken, Lee Hyo Jung is SHORTER than Lee Yong Dae by a cm, and MUCH shorter than Park Sung Hwan. In terms of Females, I believe she's also shorter than Kim Moon Hi. That's the way I remember it, when watching the finals with the Korean team standing :p;):D
