"unsighted, play a let please"

is that a rare call? i never have heard that call made in my time (present time)

[gskeng2020]

Rudy always seems uncomfortable playing at the far end of London's Royal Albert Hall,the same problem in the 1982 Thomas cup Final against Luan jin in set 1. As for Lsk he was the player to beat at that time, Li Yong Bo was an aspiring singles player at that time and beating LSK was a budding China player's claim to fame at that time.

AND NOTICE IT IS A cup of water!! 6:15

haha, awesome how time has changed

[lowdown3007]

I want to go watch a badminton tourney outside of the US. in person... some day.

especially if these guys are/were legend. awesome game

[KHAIRUL21021989]

ah the time of the carbonex series

[therealsolstice]

yes!!!

The hardest smash I have ever hit was with a yonex carbonex 8. Even with the technology today, there was something magical about the weight vs balance vs flex of the Cab 8.

I'd never use one in competition again, but I'll never forget that one rocket I hit in a "fun tourney" doubles final with a Cab 8 back in 1998.. musta been 150mph... hit the floor before anyone saw it. totally my most zen moment in my badminton history.. yay Cab 8!

lol i used a carbonex 21

[therealsolstice]

my first racket (in 1993) was a yonex RY-1000. it was probably about 110 grams lol.

in 1995, I got my first one-piece; a yonex carbonex 7 (about 95 g).

in 1997 i got a black knight 760 - Rapier (about 90g) ... then upgraded in '98 to the 780-Ultralight, and broke it and got a 790-ultraflex. i didn't like it, so i went back to head-light rackets.... and in 1999 got 2 carlton aerogear 1000FX (85g). 2003-2007 i used carlton airblades.

i use blacknight C2C nanofires now.

[h3ll4org3]

with those heavy rackets, hurts my wrist to watch them smash like that xD

[JatexTC]

Oh i forgot. They're still using the old rule...Not the rally.

[Ponch]

[miradikhanif]

rudi hartono indonesian badminton players legend

[omigasun]

u know what? technology make the present player weaker than the old player

[rapemap]

Liem SK, the inventor of "jumping smash".

[masgunarto]

Yup. And also known as "King Smash"

[cinajawa]

Rudy was past his prime and King was at his prime. Still that year Rudy would beat King one last time at the World Championship. Two best singles players Indonesia ever produced. Not even Ardie, Alan, or Taufik can compare to them.

[looselegz]
