Is anybody can confirm taht new World Record Smash Already broken By Lin Dan in thomas Cup.Thank U very MUch
wow singles 329?! isn't that a new singles record then? i believe taufik's singles record was still 312 or something right? can someone confirm singles record?
From wikipedia... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badminton Men's doubles player Fu Haifeng of China set the official world smash record of 332 km/h (206 mph) on June 3, 2005 in the Sudirman Cup. The fastest smash recorded in the singles competition is 305 km/h (189 mph) by Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia.[17]
It may be sliced. 235km/h is common for LCW. It's a little bit slow for LD though. But on the other hand, most of LD's smashes (even seemingly full power ones) are around 280 - 290, still pretty far from 332.
just to clarify. If Lin Dan did hit a smash of 329kmh then this would be a record for fastest smash for a singles player, but not the fastest smash overall, which would still be Fu at 332kmh.
yes, it will be for single. yet, we need confirmation from IBF for this? or, we assume or take granted that this is the new record?
I noticed JungJS (LeeYonDe's partner) and ZhengZB also have very powerful smashes even in the rubber game ZZB broke one of his rackets during the match against KOR MD2...
Check here. Check http://bbs.badmintoncn.com/thread-37508-1-1.html if you cannot see the image. Anyone can explain? Personally it's hard for me to believe LD can smash that hard. Never seen him smash >310km before.
