I prefer playing singles mainly because i have vague memories of getting hit/hitting my partner when i play doubles
i like clears and drop shots in singles against females coz usually i can clear to the baseline but that's something a lot of girls don't do well. I'm more of an attack person in general when i play coz if i don't attack, they will attack my backhand and then i will be screwed
Hehe I love watching badminton lah... such an exciting sport to watch when you watch the best play like the games where Lin Dan vses Lee Chong Wei or Peter Gade vses Taufik Hidayat.
Well guess just me hehe, I like to watch the games and study from it, although I doubt I learn much from it

thats great you can clear to the baseline, shows you have superb potential lah , and sounds like you have a lot of deception, when you add a potent smash and improve your backhand you can be the next Zhang Ning . Good attack is always good.
Bah in doubles its so easy to clash with your doubles player its funny... had some painful experiences myself getting whacked .

I like to play badminton, but I'm not very good at it.
It has been long since I last played. The last time I held a racket was probably, at the earliest, one year ago. I have no one to play against.
where do you live? around the san diego/LA and San francisco badminton is pretty good with the asian kids, alot of them play in the set up area....
I have the old school TI-10, didn't like it so much... but it suppose to be pretty good. I like the old Isometric series better....
I live currently in China at the moment, so there is a lot of competition around at the badminton halls which is great for improvement .
Wow you have the old Ti-10 !!!! That is one of the best rackets ever made... I think everybody would agree, it is one awesome racket that is way comparable to some of the best rackets today such as the Nanospeed 9000X or MP100, AT700 and AT900T/P...
Was your racket a 2U? If so holy smokes... best smashing racket ever....
The best head heavy racket IMO. With its extra stiff shaft boom boom...
Hmm the Isometric rackets are all more balanced, flexible and headlight I think... easier for people who are more control players and the rackets are more forgiving when playing shots not according to plan.

cristal, i looked up the two rackets i use. One is YONEX nanospeed and the other is something called titanium mesh
lol i have no idea what i am talking about
the latter is lighter and easier to use, but i prefer to use the former, seems to give me more power...
i assume they should both be pretty good racquets since i bought them in china and they still cost a fair bit. For my level of playing, i don't think those racquets are necessary, but they are so nice to use

u gota tell me what brand of purple hair-dye that is
i've been looking for a good type, but the only ones i know so far stains my bathtub like shit and i wana dye my hairrrrrrrrrrRrr
and oh my, you're missing out! volleyball is quite easy..game-play wise. hitting the ball is hard if you're playing with the hard ball..i swear i bruise my thumb/wrist so much from that..i can't even hit it up! so i'm a pussy, i only play with the soft ball. fun nonetheless
yeah same. haha watching it is so damn boring.
and really? that's odd i alwys thought everyone loves volleyball T_T
number of piercings - 8 and counting.
<3 them.
Badminton, interesting .
Is this the game where skinny oriental girls with glasses love to play, chasing a shuttercock around the court.
Do many western born orientals play this game?
apparently, if i try harder, i'd be better at badminton. i rarely play (5 times a year?), but when i can be bothered to, i will play with my dad. i was planning to take it up as a permanant sport next year, but my h.s. doesn't have badminton as a choice, and i already have 2 extra out-of-school sports, so i'm taking waterpolo and rowing instead.
yeah, the TI-10 was good, but it require alot of control, I have bull power and no control, drop shots and smash are easier with the isometric. I wasn't any good to begin with, having a stiff/wild racket didn't help. I tried to play through it but it wasn't good... I'm don't remember which one i had, the 3U or the 2U, i have to pull it out n check... but i do remember it was extra long. At the time i had the TI-10, my friends bought some muscle power and armo tech (i think that's how it's spell?) um, to be honest i don't think they're as good as my TI-10, it's too stiff... The TI-10 is pretty stiff but it flex when you hit, i think you can feel it better than the muscle power series.

Korean Open is on now... watching in great anticipation to see if Lin Dan can defend his title!!
And Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia seems to be on fire recently after switching to the powerful ArmorTec 900Power !
Hopefully Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng can reverse there shock loss last week at the Malaysian open and stop Kido/Setiawan from winning for super series in a roll for Mens Doubles!
exciting stuff!
