Why would you walk around with a Yonex logo at all? Human billboard ... Unless you get paid for it, no thanks . Regarding all the japanese it might be related to their league teams having different equipment sponsors? (mainly outfits) I'm sure Gosen wouldn't much appreciate it when someone is carrying the yonex logo on their strings when playing in a Gosen outfit. The racket logo is much more recognizable ... Just guessing here ...
Woow hard first round for KT at ABC against the malaysian Wei Feng Chong he will probably have to face Yan Kit Chan in r3 and TH in qf...
Okay KT is now semi finalist. He will face the Chinese Zhengming Wang. Hope he make it to the final !!
Tago Kenichi's defence is not very good. He cannot take smashes of Wang Zhengming's level. He must also check his crosscourt smash, it went wide a lot of times today. His style won't fit Lin Dan, as his defence is not very good.
It's good to hear WZM smash is powerful cos quite frankly I'm sick of the weak smashing types like CJ, CL etc
well, with ZMW's smashing power, most top players would look like tago's defense too. Tago was able to pick a few near the end but ZMW was smart enough to mix them up and put tago alway guessing. More headache for lcw and misbun/rashid now
this Tago guy has been playing professional badminton since 2007, best result is a lost in the AE final recently. ok, he could had won it if not the bad line call as the momentum was with him toward the end of the second game, but who knows? a raising star as the OP suggested! more like a one trick pony to me.
why more headache when his weapon is only using his smashing power? u should try to talk to your national coaches at home and learn something there instead of making wrong comment everytime
Is this the first time Tago has played WZM? If Tago is a smart kid with sharp coaches, he'll have learned a thing or two about WZM's playing style. Perhaps introduce some variation to keep WZM off balance and minimize his smashing. Easier said than done, I know Don't you all think making the SF is a decent showing for Tago? Are you expecting him to make the final of every tournament he enters? A few post like that. Like I said in an earlier post, Tago will settle into the correct level for him. Perhaps he'll be the new Mr. SF.
Gonna nip this in the bud before collateral damage occurs. cooler and pBmMalaysia, can I arrange for you to square off head-to-head on a neutral location... say Iceland. I hear some flights are open in that airspace now.
seriously i don't mind but iceland is too far and you know we asian where got wear thick jacket, maybe from malaysia distance to canada divide by 2 somewhere in india? i would love to have 10 sets of singles with him and see whether he can last that long as his post does!! and about stringing lets show it out and place a bet enough to cover the cost of my trip + +
you remember chen jin when he first show up? he started with big bang and was a short success but later he became the chen jin of today.. tago is a player to watch if he can make use of his speed and he has a good and experience coach
I agree .. Tago has shown great progress! But another aspect is of course that WZM and others have noticed Tago now, and team china coaches etc will of course analyze his weakness... So Tagos opponents will probably be better prepared tactically when tey face him in future tournaments.. Same with WZM Other teams coaches will start to analayse to find the "right" tactic against WZM.. Chen Long, Tago, WZM and Victor Axelssen are probably the min forces of the future.. Maybe Rumbaka and Zulkiffli could progress as well??? /Twobeer
