Famous Players of All Time

Badminton is one of the fastest racquet sports. No matter how good players are, they will have to retire around the age of 30-35.

This is due to the decrease in stamina and speed which affects their performance tremendously. Both these attributes are vital for a player to maintain their titles.

Nevertheless, some of these famous badminton players have contributed a lot to the game. Some have pioneered certain techniques, strategies, and tactics that made badminton so enjoyable today.

They were the ones who showed us how to improve a badminton game and perform skills that were never done before.

For example, the badminton jump smash was not used often 20 years ago. Same goes for the art of badminton deception.

Then not long ago, Taufik Hidayat has showed us a jumping backhand smash.
