    It may not just skill only. He must have very strong wrist. Otherwise, the other top player like LD, LCW and PG should be able to do it also.

    If i'm right it's not 260, but only (well only, it's not weak lol) 200 km/h. Still it is very fast. Takes a lot of practice to be able to hit it that hard.

    Right. 260 is just around the usual speeds of forehand smashes from top shuttlers.

    You can check the 200km/h back-hand smash maybe in 2005 or 2006 WC.

    I saw the video, but it didn't display the speed. Controversial. It doesn't look like fast enough in my view.

    Yeah... I'm still recalling and can't find the right video on Youtube; maybe I'm wrong. It should be around 250km/h not 200km/h.
