1980 Friend Provident's Masters Badminton Final :Liem Swie King 林水镜 vs Rudy Hartono梁海量

Here's a short clip of Hartono and Liem Swie King battling it out in the FPM.

Turn up the sound and listen to the sharp whacks, just imagine how hard they hit the birdie.

This clip was preserved by the National Archives of Indonesia and is part of a forthcoming film of Rudy in 2011.

Open today.

Accuracy, must be what LinDan is trying to excel in at present.

In case you are wondering why the sound or audio is so clear and crisp,

that is because the tournament was held in the Royal Albert Hall,a concert hall, the

same venue of the 1982 Thomas Cup.

match between gods..

the reason why the rackets sound like that are because they have metal (i think aluminum) head on them. those rackets sound waaaaay different than the rackets now.

it's funny how the crowd only clapped (politely) after a smash-winner. nowadays, the entire stadium buzzes during every rally and explodes whenever the shuttle touches the floor.

berharap Rudi Hartono dan Liem Swie King kembali muda...
