Fu Haifeng 傅海峰 | Most Signature Smash in Badminton 

Ehhh Lin Dan is much better

@@traytyler9951 LD is single

No, he isn't. Doubles have much stricter requirements for smash. @@traytyler9951

@@traytyler9951 Even lin dan wouldn't say that

Search" parveen Jardan" ALL TIME BEST SMASHER IN BADMINTON HISTORY

You are absolutely right. There are smashes that are “fast” measured in terms of initial speed, fast in the beginning but may slow down considerably with distance. Then there are “heavy” smashes that may not have the fastest initial speeds but they slow down less with distance travelled. FH’s smashes are more of the second type. They are typically generated using a heavier racket and require more overall strength.

Yeah, plus the way they measure speed now makes it easier to get a faster smash speed/bigger number.

Wouldnt be surprised if its past 500

No one. The golden generation (Hendra Setiawan/Ahsan) are still showing their class despite the age difference. New generation pales in comparison to the old in MD/MS. I do think XD / WS / WD has evolved though

@@powfarm I disagree on that.. Look up the new young MD pair from China. One has a very powerful smash comparable to Fu, and the other is rediculously fast on the front.

@@hanktadaa Liang isn't comparable to fu at all lol. let's not disrespect cai/fu by comparing them to liang/wang who aren''t even better than li/liu when they first came into the scene.

@@langszCan you elaborate on your point? How do you see ones are "better" or "worse"?

@@hanktadaa Well one aspect for the rear court would be penetrative power. I'll give an example, Xu Chen had a darn killer smash (I think FHF actually said the hardest smasher on the CN squad was Xu Chen) but he had horrible success in MD (for many reasons), one of the main reasons was he couldn't pressure with his smash. In contrast, you have Flandy Limpele (Indonesia) who smashes nowhere near as hard but the conversion is a lot better due to the placement. Now, not all smashers are going to be converting their smashes, but if they can't, they should at least be able to keep smashing as needed (Zheng Siwei) and provide coverage accordingly. I still think the best male doubles specialists on the CN squad currently is Liu YuChen and Zheng Siwei but Liu lacks in mental fortitude and Zheng lacks penetrative power + gets nervous None of the other CN pairs have caught my eye yet. No X factor to show they can even compare to Liu Xiaolong / Qiu Zihan (3rd or 4th ranked MD when they were around iirc)

... and two gold!

@@Blockthecreeper two olympic gold in 4 years with different partners. Means consistency and true greatness

Yea definitely underrated player

One for power. The other for air time.

Fu hai feng is perfect, goh v shem has smart positions when smashing

As for the smashes, I agree, but overall, I think there have been better doubles players.

@@michel_dutch Hendra is the only player that have a case to be better than fu, other than that no. fu played in 3 straight olympics final, do you know how crazy that is lol

@@michel_dutch 2 gold medal, 1 silver olympic, 4 time world champions, you know anyone better than that ?

@@user-mq5rj1wb7v Just looking at medals is one way to look at it, certainly, but I think there's more to it than that. LCW has never won Olympic gold, yet we consider him one of the best. In this regard, I would consider players such as Kim Dong Moon and Tony Gunawan, the latter having won gold medals at the Olympics and the WC with THREE different doubles partners.

Chirag shetty is 100 times better than him both in th nets and smashes, he is lucky that he retired and not played Chirag shetty

Delusion at its peak

@@Hr18YT"2005"

He would still very likely have the hardest smash in the top 100 players. THe thing is since 2005 the equipment has improved a lot and allowed for much higher speed. If he was in his prime today I bet he would be able to do it again.

@@Koozwad I would definitely agree with the likeliness, especially if it was also in a controlled environment similar to the current holder.

@@Hr18YT the speed measurement changed. The speed measurement was how fast it was over the net. Now it's around a centimetre from the racket head. Its bullshit.

@@alexanderzhang5802 It's good for the sport though - bigger numbers = more public interest. It is often compared to the other racket sports.

WTF bro, shut up and go to sleep

Come again when he has 4 WC and 2 OG golds
