Saw them today in Sunsuria Sports Complex in Kota Damansara.

- Hoon Thien How is still absent from training, probably still injured
- Chooi Kah Ming is also absent
- Teo Kok Siang is back!
- In practice matches, Ow Yao Han is paired with Tan Wee Kiong
- Ong Soon Hock and Mak Hee Chun were both absent from training although both also lost in the first round...?
- Tan Kim Her and Pang Cheh Chang were not there, the coach there is a rather plump Malay man wearing glasses, I assume thats Rosman Razak.
- Jeremy Gan is there.

Why are they training there btw? How come it's not stadium juara, bkt kiara? Psst, can public have a social and friendly match with them?

Wow, didn't notice this video earlier. Thanks, george. Mak/Ong played quite well in this match, but their most glaring weakness that I can see is their lack of speed. Their movement is quite slow. They actually have considered above par defense and Mak's smashes and shot selections are quite effective. I think the main obstacle that is stopping them is speed. Unless they improve on this aspect, they will never break into the top 20 or so pairs.

Meanwhile, Goh/Lim has all the speed and power but they make way too many unforced errors and their defense is not very good. Also, they have quite a messy game, it might work one day, while the other day it might just collapse on you. Ironic that both of these pairs strong points seem to cancel out each other's weakness.

-KKK/TBH have participated in the most tournaments at 15, and are No.6
-GWS/LKW are now officially the no.2 MD as GTC/TBS have dropped below them.
-OYH/TWK, the scratch pair is actually higher ranked than MHC/OSH by 24 spots despite having the SAME amount of tournaments!

It's 14 spots, no idea why I saw MHC/OSH as no.83 instead of 73

Teo KS is back and apparently showed his best back at the MO! Time to pair him back with Mak Hee Chun

MHC is a good smasher and intelligent player but slow.

**undeadshot** · 01-10-2012, 08:18 AM

As for Ong Jian Guo, maybe he should consider playing MD instead of XD where results have not been coming his way? Currently he also faces the danger of getting overtaken by TAQ/LPJ...

TKH must have a dilemma now, TKS or LKW would be a better partner for GWS?

still too early lar..eventhough TKS/GVS managed to upset CHN pair
but consistency is important, but one good thing is we have a lot of talented MDs
just need to find the right click.....too bad in this case, Ah How been forgotten most of the time....

**ngkt67** · 03-15-2012, 08:43 PM

last year in Japan SS, Goh V Shem partnered Lim Khim Wah to beat Chai Biao/Guo Zheng Dong in 3 games, now recently in Swiss GP Goh V Shem partnered Teo Kok Siang to beat Chai Biao/ Guo Zheng Dong again this time in 2 straight games...!!

Badminton Men Double competition now is all talk about speed and power, Ah How physical condition is really does not allow him to do that. unless he slim down for another 10 kg, otherwise I am doubt any player want to partner with him......

well Ah How can partner back Tan Boon Heong, but TBH begin slower than before as his smash is no longer hard and speedy anymore...

I dun think HTH/TBH will make any impact based on the present development of MD competition- speed and power. Based on Malaysia present pool of MD players, GVS/TBH may be a good choice to form a strong partnership after OG 12. These two players have the speed and power. What important is they seldom make mistakes (like KKK) also, they are pretty good in front of the net as well !

Malaysia really need a strong pair to make an impact in the world compettiton. there is no point to claim that we have amny talented players but when put them in the world stage, they can only be the second rank pairs.

as stated earlier, we have a large pool but click and compatibility is another questions, just like KOR team...
their pool of MD is good as well but so far only JJS/LYD stand out, while KSY/YYS and the rest have some minor hits here and there...
i think thats the concern for TKH now, KKK/TBH is not producing results, and TKH need to find a solution to come out with maybe one
or two more capable pairing....
