Where is this Eric Pang now? He is not bad.

[MissArmyNurse]

i hate being petite and wants to be professional in this game ..its really hard coz i need extra effort in everything running and mastering all the steps in the court and technique .. i have to be more fast coz some of my opponents are 5'8 to 6 feet tall geez..

Do tall player have better advantage in badminton?

[smashmaster]

yes and no, all depends how there trained and if they can use it to their advantage. if there tall better reach and dont have to move as far to get around the court but on the negative side shots to the body become harder to defend and everything like that. there are lots of other factors too on the positive side and negative sides too.

[BaddyLuffy]

@smashmaster Being a tall badminton player gives you more reach, so more control. But there, it also gives the other player new targets to aim.

[smashmaster]

@BaddyLuffy it is deffinetly true, not necessarily better control since that can always be fine tuned just means they can reach the shuttle earlier which can be a disadvantage to them, if you can jam them up with shots that you play at/near their body not allowing them to actaully take it infront of them and use their advantage. anyways yes i agree with you, and there are lots of other things, same goes for short players too advnatages and disadvantages but training helps to counter and enhance.

[WAR1232]

Unlike basketball whereby it would be easier for taller player to score point, badminton is more balance game.

In badminton, players are require to make a lot of quick sprint and stop. Taller player with higher center of gravity with have a disadvantage on this but benefit from better reach and steeper smashes.

If taller player is what makes badminton, then Bao Chunlai, Park Sun Hwan and Hafiz would have ruled the badminton circuit

[hhhkkkhhhjkjki]

smashes and speed but not net lifts..

[minhmap9999]

LOL 2206

[HyedHeen]

[chewbaka747]

i thought eric was from thailand or something

[Aenour]

taufik is just bored, he doesn't have to try at all. He only rarely attacks, eric is simply outclassed.

[serendib7]

The information says this is 200 years in the future. Taufik ages well

[IPWNED]

uhm I think Taufik did pretty good. Its just that Eric Pang is really tall. He is like a bit shorter than Bao thats all

[jarko64]

Taufik in shape has no real opponents. He ain't in shape in this game.

[FutabaUploader]

His prime was 2002-2005. After that, it's all downhill.

[badmintondabest]
