Spidey10 Supercharged August 14, 2016 Share August 14, 2016 ya, came back to badminton after a very very long lay off. I have bought around 10 racquets since i started playing again, 3 or 4 already broken. i still represent my club in badminton. Wahhh...u can break 3-4 yonex racquet damn powderful liao...these latest racquet are built to last and withstand high tension!!My son uses voltric and string it at 30 lb!! actually badminton is pretty punishing on the knees and to a certain extent the heels. especially if keen trying to do Liem Swie King type of smashes. Young can lah...now how to do lah..easily gain more than 50kilos vs young that time ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno why? I miss those wooden frame racquets. Classic! over a while ago, Derek lose 21-18, 21-8. Aiyoh, so close the first game. I used to get my racquets strung by Shoon Keat.

Atrecord Supersonic August 14, 2016 Share August 14, 2016 I just remembered another china player 赵剑华, a very attacking left hander player. lol i was searching for his chinese name and didnt see you post it liao i mentioned him already earlier mah... He was morten Frost's nemesis. Yang Yang while probably the most dependable (more skilful than Han Jian), had lost to Frost but Zhao Jian Hua was smash his way past Frost. But he was so temperamental. Sometimes completely lost it... He came to SGP to sell chicken rice after he retired. Wonder how's biz? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atrecord Supersonic August 14, 2016 Share August 14, 2016 Hehe, anyway it is just leisure playing not competitive so no need to smash Leftie vs leftie, any advantage also neutralised liao Reminds me of the rare occasion when zhao jian hua played Yang yang... somehow not as exciting as them playing against liem swee king, sugiarto, etc. of all the Chinese dominance of the singles, they were no match for the dominant Korean pair who looked invincible during their heydays.

Nowadays very hard to book badminton court at CC, the regulars have it booked one whole stretch. Men doubles from Han Jian's era, Li Yong Bo and who arhh? Cannot remember. Best combo so far.

Atrecord Supersonic August 15, 2016 Share August 15, 2016 li yongbo and tian bingyi. park joo-bong and kim moon-soo yes. but the tall-short combination of the former was no match for the evenly-balanced combination of the latter lah. Was fascinated with the speed of the doubles play - forever smashing unlike the usually more patient volleys of singles. Think Li YongBo came to SGP as coach after he retired? Old but not that OLD. Young at heart can liao. Nowadays very hard to book badminton court at CC, the regulars have it booked one whole stretch. Men doubles from Han Jian's era, Li Yong Bo and who arhh? Cannot remember. Best combo so far. I gave up trying many moons ago. I think the regulars must be at 7:59:59 already finger ready to click and book... trying to see whether can get to know anyone staying at a condo betw my office and home, which has badminton court. Maybe that way still got chance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
