Mohamad Arif Abdul Latif

in some point, i do agree with u (esp.regarding his placement and about lack of confidence)... but in my opinion, in modern games, he needs to be more aggressive to kill the shuttle... i think the way he plays is more like 15 points game which prefer to do rally... thus, he needs to add more speed and power into his game...

yup agree.

I thinks he needs to tone up too. Physically he looks a little slow on the court with those excess pounds.

I've seen a few videos on you tube of this young player. Definitely got potential. Got some good winners and is generally quick around the court with decent defence. Like every one who has seen him, he definitely needs to be fitter and a little faster. But most of all he needs the belief. He has the ability to win. Just got to train hard and be more consistent ^_^

Hopefully he'll be able to achieve major honours in the coming years...

Ha Ha...

Based on Sing Chew newspaper, Arif almost cannot enter Macau as he was held custody for suspecting drug trafficing... fortunately he was set free and allow to check in to Macau for Thomas Cup play...

lol....maybe his face looked like penagih???
btw, agreed with tantrum view, saw Arif play in MO 2012, definitely a good player
with lots of potential...maybe need a lot of exposure and train very very hard
no skip training

Will he be fielded in today's 3rd singles clash with korea instead of liew darren? hmmm.. thestar's rajes paul already gave some hint..

**extremenanopowe** · 02-14-2012, 11:39 PM

IMO, If he plays or anyone plays, nothing to loose because it boils to the form of the day.

Perfection is required. No venture, no gain.

Datuk should be with the coach during breaks to psych them up a little. Give them encouragement during the 11 point breaks. It can help mentally. This is what leadership, captainship and team spirit is all about.

**extremenanopowe** · 02-15-2012, 01:24 AM

Also again, if YLL can do it, why can't others?

It just take a little spark to burn the house down.

Consistency in winning every tournament is not easy, but.... miracles do happens.

**ngkt67** · 02-17-2012, 02:39 AM

tonight Arif will have some test to prove himself as he will face Takuma Ueda of JPN in 3rd single match...
better he not play play just like during match against Hong Ji Hoon of KOR...

**ammil89** · 02-17-2012, 03:26 AM

got live a?

**peacock.bass** · 03-04-2012, 10:20 PM

he is dropped from All England team..

**Aikachan** · 03-07-2012, 06:32 PM

Wei Feng is doing great in AE. He just defeated Pablo Abian. So Ariff should not complain that much about being dropped (although it's a bit unfair) coz BAM will love to have the opportunity to say "I TOLD YOU SO" to his face. Just focus on Swiss Open.

i remember Pablo Abian once beaten Chong Wei Feng last year, now Chong Wei Feng had his revenge by beaten spanish "Wolverine" Pablo Abian... well done CWF, do not bear in mind that having 1st round casualty in last week German GP and keep up fighting...

**undeadshot** · 03-07-2012, 11:36 PM

Looks like the decision to drop Arif and promote CWF to the qualifying tournament was worth it as CWF earned a second round ticket to fight Lin Dan before going home. I'm not saying that Arif couldn't do the same but Arif certainly did not show any motivation in the TUC qualifying rounds unlike Liew Daren (which he compared himself to). If you want your place, show that you want it by your performance on the court, not just empty talk!

**eaglehelang** · 03-07-2012, 11:47 PM

Arif is not going Swiss but Aust. In a sense I agree with James S. ,better Arif prove himself in the tournaments that he gets to go instead of saying unfair. The other reason media speculate is CWF,Daren are to spar with LCW during AE,CWF is left hander
