Seeing live in action at WC05, I would say LD jump smash is one of a kind, just like floating, leg curl up and smash with power and accuracy, and my opinion is the best I have seen...recently LD does not jump as much as he used to before...and he dive less too...before LD jump smash and dive with frequency...is he 'old' or avoid injured to save for OLY?? hymmmm.
I vote for myself cuz I can see it from the first person view, feel it, do it, hear it and live it all at once XD
For all angles/directions jump smash, i vote for Taufik..... For straight/direct jump smash, i vote for LD... For cross-court jump smash, no doubt...LCW For deceptive jump smash, i vote for Zhao JianHua & Hendrawan.
What the heck...it is still a smash, hehehe!! But I agree with you, you cover all kind of smash..hahaha!!!
sigit jump smash was CRAZY~! i cant find another player in recent years have a better smash than him but the point is that he is getting old ,so..... fu's smash was great and fast, but i dont like to watch him....=.=
Agreed.....fu's smash is powerful but i totally don't enjoy watching him......he is just like a Terminator playing badminton.....
No doubt: King smash! Liem Swie King! Maybe Fu Haifeng hits harder [km/hour] now, but hey, give him a wooden racket and we'll see...
With 33Xkm/h speed of the smash......he can use anything, even a tennis racket.....maybe faster than Andy Ruddick...

Liem Swie King...is the next one....and followed by heryanto arby.. Viva Djarum....
Guys Guys! Are we forgetting someone who won AE 8 times? RUDY HARTONO!!!! He has the most powerful smash during his time and they called it the 'Pile Driver Smash'!!! For Backhand smashing, i think no one comes close to Flemming Delfs. His backhand smash was recorded in the Guinness world of records.
Heard that it is liem swuie king who created jump smash.Rudy n liem r both powerful for the men's single of their era.For the more current,MD's Halim haryanto n fu hai feng for the power,while Sigit for the angle,n for MS,Taufik on the past,for the smash,n LD for the style.
Haha..terminator?Well..i agree that fu's got the strongest,heaviest smash among the players,since he was used to play as a single while he's in the junior,before he decided to play doubles.But i think fu's smash is no longer scarying the opponents,at least not as scary as it used to be.Maybe they have used to it,or the opponents r more prepared then.
I am with you where Halim Haryanto is one of the best jump smashes... In fact, for me his smashes looks even more scary than fu's as it has speed, power and angled shot and a whole lot of wrist action! but I wonder how not many notice him.... if you guys need evidence, check out mens doubles final world championships 2001 where tony & halim whipped Kim dong moon and ha tae kwon 15-0, in the first set. And at the time, many people were talking about Kim dong moon as the best badminton player ever...
