i just find that his style and flow of play resembles Peter Gade's flow...but i suppose everyone is entitled to their opinion, and i do understand where you're comming from...most people would choose LD/TH/LCW because they ARE the best
you're right, Zwiebler does sort of resemble Gade... but Gade does it better and smoothier and... Gade looks more relaxed... the styles are similar however.
i think best style is Taufik Hidayat, love his relax-ed-ness and his I-don't-really-care-about-anything attitude, really adds to his overall image lol
Actually, although the topic talks of who is the best/inno player in the world today, after to talk a little about yesterday. After watching Cheah Soon Kit again in the doubles final at TC 1992 and Oli Gold final at in 1996 videos as well as my memory of 1988 TC semifinal game, CHeah's game was innovative compared with his senior players of LYB_Tian, Razif_Jailani, Eddy_Gunawan and Prk _KIm. A lot of jump smash, drops from the back, cross court jabs so lethal and cross court block defence that caracterised the double game of the 90s and todays.
i havnt heard many people talkin abt Nova Wudianto from indonasia serious i think he is a super player and his amazin cross courts and jump smashes are awsomeeeeeee
1. Rudy Hartono for Speed and Power Game that influence all player today. Since his appearence we can see smash, dropshot and drive...not just rally...and other boring game 2. Liem Swie King for his jumping Smash...all player now using jump smash 3. Taufik Hidayat for his Special Backhand Technique...i never see a player with two wing attack like the bad boy, an opponent cannot relax with his BH, cos he can smash with great power..is it innovatife? absolutely Yes...he can depend on his BH 4. Icuk Sugiarto with his determination (not sure ..) 5. Zhao Jianhua....when he jump...no one know where the ball goes.... 6. Also Ricky/Rexy, not sure bout this, but i think both of them speed up the game more than before, smash...drive...smash..... I also note that there is a men double player from china that use spin serve, unfortunately its already banned...its around 80's
I also note that there is a men double player from china that use spin serve, unfortunately its already banned...its around 80's no , u are wrong ... that spin serve was created by the sidek brothers and its called a spin serve or S-serve.. and unfortunately its already been banned by BWF because they said it will spoil the shuttle
ahh...thanx for the info, but are u sure thats from sidek brothers? actually i read from indonesian local news paper, it said that chinese pair found that serve...and then banned by IBF cos its to "tricky", and not good for badminton....maybe just like hidden serve in tabletennis...but still CMIIW
I think tricky moves could boost badminton marketing, so that it will be more popular.. anyone agree?
China's Wu Dixi, 1982 WD All England winner, was feared for her service. It then nearly made the game a farce with virtually unplayable backhand spin-serves. The shuttle swerved late-and fully two feet. I saw her play many times at a time when such serves were not considered a fault. It was served with the base or cork up, not down as it is done today.
Uhh....i prefer Lee Chong Wei defensive and speed style and Lee Hyun Il for fast improvement on defensive and attacking
LOL... Korean line judges are pretty cool in my opinion. If it wasn't because of them, world of badminton would have never witness the one and only flying AT700 incident.
