[superwin]

back then that smash was the best smash you can possibly do. Wonder how fast it'll be with today's racquets.

[910127]

[Pr0ZfighTErZ]

@jonisthebest99 his head is probably aerodynamical

[speedstakerguy]

Insane vertical!

[xtremexn]

I love his aggresiveness.

[justinsundiam]

that jump is very high! :O

[bingkk]

big smash is all well and good. i'd much rather have that solid underarm baseline to baseline backhand clear!!!

[Chowmeinaddict]

This is what Liem Swie King is known for, his very powerful jumping smash

[darianNK]

INDONESIAAA!!!

[nazgore]

Indonesian Liem Swie King is the best!

[NellyJamba]

I liked him so much, I remember buying a green Yonex Cabonex 8 to copy him. Even his style of play.

[duckgeezer]

@NellyJamba i did the same thing in 1982. I still have my carbonex 8 to this day.

[MrSupamanh]

Oh my goodness, look at that vertical!

[lowdown3007]

he's like a boxer that plays badminton and can jump over buildings!

[g0297497k]

This is just stuning... I'm now wondering whose smash is more killing...? Liem, Fu or Tan...

[MultiYongs]

@g0297497k

I Think its fu and liem

bcoz Fu's smash is almost 300 in every game and liem's smash is ,well sort of fu also

[xtremexn]

Fantastic smash. One of the best smashers of the world.

[JMUDoc]

I love that "jumping smash" is "jumping smashu"!

He broke his string with that smash... if he was using today's equipment there would be no point even trying to defend it; just lie down and hope it doesn't go through you...

[Kash1337]

Also the racquets have changed allowing the shots to be more controlled and powerful, back in the late 80's the rackets would have been much heavier etc...

[def800]

@honchi99 so what?he's no KING

[ParagonAX]

@honchi99 Tan Boon Heong's "record" is fake, done under lab conditions by Yonex, not radar gun in a competition.

[mtube620]

@ParagonAX not fake but under different condition AND measuring technique. It should not be compared with radar. Comparison must be the same, apple vs apple.

[ssijk]

@ParagonAX How about I get you a "lab product" by Yonex while what you have to do is just to show me a 250km/h shot.

None of us have the right to deny the fabulous LSK' s trademark shot. However this doesn't mean that you ought to criticise on others' accomplishment which you or even the other world class players cannot achieve.

[mtube620]

@ParagonAX not only bogus but useless lab statistic, that's why in real life, it doesn't get him win many games.

[wtf28]

dude that was like a whip

[worldpeace32]

No it's camera trick

[aliffarhan18]

@worldpeace32 not a trick .. its a real one

[exowneon]

LSK is the guy invented this .... now simply called Jump Smash.

[visvimbb]

he did it in a test under different circumstances.

get ur facts right pls

[GeraldEdberg]

Personally I dont like if something called a record if It's not done in a proffesional match. Anyway this is Liem Swie King, the original inventor of jump smash that almost every pros right now does.

[KnockoutMagic]

it stops buffering at the time he jumped....thats nuts he must have flubber in his shoes!!!!!!!

[SuwitoR]

@honchi99

the thing is. King's racket is heavier and less powerful = lower tension and less flex. we don't really know if his smash or Tan Boon's is faster because of the difference in technology.

[Kash1337]

well it obviously is fast. xD

but you have a good point. it's hard to compare his smash to a modern day smash.

[shimickey]

pause at 0:21 criss angel levitation!

[lowdown3007]

@shimickey nah... angel can only levitate when you see it from behind!

[alstan25]

hes tall and with that jump he created a strange angle.

[SportsyGuy]

The final or what.

[nonoTete1]

Pause at 0.08, see the height LSK jump for the smash...amazing...

[L17061412]

Fu HaiFeng a good smasher too!

[PhantomZhaus]

[mitchieee89]

[arrive96]

hm.. OK

[wawawa87]

[tuanfantastis]

LSK is the creator of badminton Jump smash!

[SonicShock]

Yes, that's correct.

[HardBrokeKid2]

[movesoffury]

[invincibleajay]
