Who is the trick master???

Although many might disagree, but I think LD is also one of the most deceptive(tricky) player.

Lin Dan does have his own set of deceptive shots, just most people don't see them when he utilizes those shots... except the times when he under-performs those shots.

OMG i can't believe no one has even considered or mentioned Xia XuanZe or Chen Hong! both are GODs!

[almighty]

i think both xia n chen hong don't have deceptive skill like hendrawan
even peter gade is still better from xia n chen hong

lets not forget also kenneth jonassen.!..

Nah, I think KJ is not very deceptive except the fact that he has a super strong wrist to return many shots with a weird stroke.

For Chen Hong and Xia, I can't really recall much from them.

Asian Badminton Championships, much against Taufik

Lin Dan is power and endurance... hes a machine
now Peter Gade can pull off any deceptive shot on any player... and now that hes older and has much more experience and doesnt have as much endurance now.. he relies a lot on the accuracy of his shots and returns plus any deceptive opportunities.

well in terms of present day Chinese players I'd agree with xXazn romeoXx, Chen Hong is one of the most deceptive. He commonly does 'trick' shots at the net. But Zhao Jianhua in the past was amazing.

Hendrawan & Peter Gade definitely the trick master....especially on the net play....but i reckon Hendrawan is more deceptive than Gade, always entertaining and stylish.

We need some youtube video for the younger generation.

I was going to say, I've not seen anything of hendrawan....the way everyone goes on about him I would love to watch him. Anyone got anything to download of his (youtube is always sooo bad).

Ahh, then you have missed a lot. The masterclass display between Gade and Hendrawan at their peak in the Thomas Cup 2000 semis was one of the best I ever saw. Gade won that time, but Hendrawan was far from disgraced. His display fuelled the fire into his teammates.

With fire, the INA squad is unstoppable.

don't suppose you have the video?

i vaguely remember watching hendrawan vs gade. but for the life of me, i can't remember the sheer skills of these two players during their peak. i, too, would love to see those in action again. maybe badminton torrents will include the matches that involved those two.

Gade, in his pre-injury days was spectacular from what i remember (which is blurry ) but i can't recall any crazy tricks or anything from Hendrawan...Jonassen's trick shots look really exaggerated IMO, but Gade/Taufik/Chen Hong's are ALL smooth and fluid

let's not forget about Kenneth's tricky forehand service..........kekekekeke..............
