Cuz the key is make it tough for the current players and also old timers won’t be competitive playing straight up 2v2. They are old and don’t train everyday, so their feel, touch, and stamina will be out of touch.
it's way lower than it used to be. if i remember right, he came to calgary for the legends event a few months back and his smash is much much slower than current players (or the speedometer was just broken at the event or whatever). this is why i still feel the old generation is head and shoulders above the current
@@powfarm Depends on what discipline. You can't say that about WS, in that discipline players are so much better than they were 10-15 years ago. But if we're talking about MS and XD, yes. I'd take LD over Axelsen, I'd take both Zhang/Zhao and Ahmad/Natsir over Siwei/Yaqiong. Any day of the week. I don't watch WD too often, but smashes didn't happen too often back then, so it's probably in the same league as WS. MD is a hard one. Back then MDs had better defending but less speed. I'm not sure if pairings like Lee/Yoo or Liu/Qiu would be able to cope with the sheer speed of Sukamuljo/Gideon for example. And no, don't use the Daddies argument, Ahsan is a late bloomer and Hendra is an alien.
@@powfarm Also about CW, you have to consider that he can't get too tired or his cancer will return. That's why he's pacing himself here, if he never got cancer he'd still be playing right now
@@nathanhosea489 Very true. LCW is amazing. I've always preferred watching LD's playstyle but LCW is worth respecting. I actually think ZSW/HYQ can compete with ZN/ZYL and TA/LN. They're not as technical as the veteran pairs but they're way faster. I feel HYQ is such an aggressive female player she's content to go side-side/drives much more than ZYL (bad knee) and LN (queen of the front touch). HS never mentions KS ever in his building of a perfect badminton player. Fastest player he ever faced was CY. One person would single handedly bottle-neck the minions IMO: JJS. (RIP) - just like how he bottlenecked the Danes. The leftovers and forever no.3 (MB/CM) finally had a chance of winning titles after JJS stepped out and minions stepped in (until the Danish players got too old to cope with the speed) - I still remember the interview drama where Boe was saying ez win by clearing to Kevin (and Danish defense was not even extraordinary on the top level) Speed means nothing when they can't break the defense. MA was good even in his younger days. Flashes of brilliance. He was just unlucky with partnerships.
@@nathanhosea489 WS I'm undecided on. It was way too volatile before and even now. Could ZN beat the girls of today? I can't confidently say, to be honest. The girls now are so much fitter than the past, but ZN was never a physique based player. She was pure angles and touch. Her half smashes were out of this world and even now I don't see anyone replicating them. TTY is amazing but gets herself into trouble too often (thus forcing her to pull off her nerves of steel - exciting but it's almost like she *needs* to corner herself rather than just dominate from the get-go) and she seems injury prone. Ratchanok has flashes of brilliance but also seems to struggle with consistency. The Great Wang Wall (Yihan, Xin, and Shixian) was very beatable and never had an air of invincibility. Prime XXF had an air of invincibility iirc but she also had tourneys where she just choked. Also add-on to the MD stuff I mentioned before regarding minions. Notice the moment someone with defense comparable to JJS (I still think JJS had better def tbh) shows up, Minions get stomped ie Yuta Watanabe - what was their head to head again? Like 2-6 or something?
Lcws technique will be missed. Such beautiful art like motion and incredibly hard to read. I also notice how fast he is to the net and early. Maybe thats what made him so good compare tp other players. Everything attack from the back court but he start his advantage at the front.
Dato LCW is not an active professional anymore but it's still amazing to see how much of his physicality he's still kept. Everytime I watch badminton now, I keep wishing someone at the level of LD and LCW come back.
Lcw: we have to show these young guys whats up and whos the real pros TBH: just have fun get the rally going. KKK: damn these young guys are really good😂
