    Some of Taufik's dives are hilarious...
    IMO, Lee Chong Wei's footwork is excellent.

    For me, if you search the best traditional footwork (as you learn in book), 2 names comes :
    Lee Hyun Il
    Roslim Hashim

    That's perfect !!! But the perfect is not the fastest !

    Taufik has one of the worst footwork amongst the top players

    agree with that.
    Taufik is not a good exemple for the young players.

    Once again, LEE HYUN II is just perfect !!!!

    I think I have to go with you on this one....

    I kind of disagree with most of you on Taufiks footwork, fair enough he doesn't dive like LD and LCW, but he has some good footwork... but then again i don't closely monitor his footwork but his racket technique is enough for all other players....

    +1.

    Look at all videos and you will actually see LHI has the most balanced footwork, always seems so relaxed, smooth and solid. And I think PG comes closely second then TH.

    And I also agree that perfect not necessarily equal the best and fastest. Where LD and LCW is a good example with their super recovery.

    Peter Rasmussen didn't need to dive.
    He used his feet to get him there ;)
