maybe the service judges themselves should draw a thick line on players' shirts prior to each game around the waist? That should make it easier to spot
Cooler it's true our Government does put alot of funding into sports however I dont believe badminton is one of them. I know people who play at state level and I've seen the state training sessions here in South Australia. It's nothing special really the lack of interest and funding Government or commercial really shows. I also dont believe the AIS has a badminton program, all the sports we do do well at people can develop at the AIS. Our swimmers, gymnasts, cricketers, cyclists, basketballers etc get special government scholarships to train at the AIS but that is obviously not the case with badminton which is apparent in Tania's case and the people I know. Maybe if badminton popularity/success things might change... fingers crossed!
well about this drive serve many of my friends have been using this.it does get frustrating at times but its really risky.for top players it is never advisible to do it due to the fact that the players reflexes are quick and can push the shuttle into an attacking position.so i can only say that you just have to get use to this kind of serve from young.and slowly beat it because tactically there is no fault with it unless you hold the racket over the waist.
Totally agree the shuttle were clearly way to slow, some of the singles matches were clearing competitions and even in the mixed the shuttle couldn't be put away. Yes, there were a couple of girls clearly with double action on serve.
So i see Im not the only one that noticed craig cooper's serve... And the shuttle speed is slow?no wonder why tania and all the WS players seems to smash even softer than mine...lol but surprisingly enough LCW seems to drive the shuttle like a bullet...man how does he do it?and he kills a shot so quickly where if u blink its gone...damn hes fast...
not sure about asia, but over here, everyone joins in the swearing. maybe it's the western violent nature coming through my doubles partner has a tendency to play a lift, then say "SIT!!!!!!!!" and if it goes out, followed by a loud, "F***!!!!!!!!" everyone just laughs...
he's built like a tank, so i'm not sure if it'd help me but i have noticed its usually, the better the player, the better his temper.
