No top speed of speed records should be compared between them if they are measured by different machine or method. End of story.
If i remember nicely, Boon Heong actually smashed 400km/h or sth in Japan open 2009. Someone confirm ?
ArcSaber Z Slash 414km/h by Tan Boon Heong http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UOdZttLdM0&feature=related
Eat my smash I often smash at 550 - 650 kmph (mach 0.5) every time i play........................................................... ................................................................. ................................................................. but......half court smash hahahahahahahaahahahahahaa (and i purposely and intentionally always aim for the eyes)
It should be very dangerous for your opponents !! imagine if the shuttle hits the opponent and then there's a hole in his body XD
Not trying to confirmed anything. Yonex has a poster at 2010 TC in Malaysia showing TBH breaking the smashing speed record, with a Guinness certificate. I have posted the photos in the following. See photo 4 & 5 http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84796
if u can hit that hard even for half court smash u can beat most of the bam player already lah yeah,this one i agree but if someone are new,one should teach them where to read and where to search lol they try to discredit and dont want to admit something who yonex and gwr already admit and verify.
hehe limsy i am looking forward one day to your new 700km/h smash record with new top of the line yonex radar gun from 2020... hahahahahahah.. ^^ -- on a more serious note though IMHO, they should try to keep measuring variables consistent such as the type of radar gun... or else, the results are meaningless. Some international body (BWF) needs to regulate this... well, I guess the 421km/h is better from a marketing point of view.. imagine saying to a friend, who plays tennis: "you think tennis is tough, badminton shuttlecock has reached speeds of ____km/h!!"
haha imagine how difficult and awkward it would be having to explain this to whoever... in a lawsuit!?!? haha hmm.. if this is to happen badminton all of a sudden has become a deadly sport The shuttlecock comparable to a bullet....
