I think there is something about Lin Dan that separated him from other pro players and especially lee chong wei.His moving style is legendary and very unique from other players, if you all pay attention and compare it with other players then you will observe it.He conducts the rallies and he moves very economically while LCW is a kind of reactive player going with the flow.Lin dans physicallity was also very much in playing shape in his prime and his shoulders and calf muscles were used to be like machines part.The way he plays his overhead backhand corner shots are very energy saving as he doesnot use the hop step unlike other players and his crossover step is so beautiful to watch ,his attacking backcourt footwork looks different from other players.And also his game use to has some particular templates which is the most important thing that made him different from all other players.

Lin Dan's footwork is THE best, and old Chinese fans all know that. He completely changed his playstyle after 2010. The best footwork gives him the best efficiency. He doesn't need to run fast like LCW, or smash hard as some players. Yet he can still play the best defense and offense.

​@@hrishirajgogoi1018 I would say this. The first stage is befroe 2010 during which young Lin Dan had the physical advantage above nearly everyone and the peak was the 08 Beijing. Man he just dominated LCW with phenomenal speed and powerful smash. The second stage is 2010-2014 during which Lin Dan continued to grind his skill under the coach of Tang Xianhu. He may not be fast as LCW or powerful as young players, but he had the best skill, rhythm and footwork combined with his tie 1 physical ability. I would say 2011-2013 was the peak of his career. The 3rd stage is 2015- 2020. After 2014 Chen Long reached his peak and took over from Lin Dan, who started to fall slowly. Cause Lin Dan had all the titles for 2 round and was lack of motivation. And that's when he started to have affairs with models which was exposed after 2016 Rio, known to all in China. Respect to him that he still mantained a high level of competition, but obviously he no longer had the motivation for championships anymore.

prime time lindan really made all the world class top players look like an amateur.

Robert Lo Not quite. If you followed all of LD's matches in olympics 2008 not just the final with LCW. You can see that even LD in 2008 could play a patience game if he needed too and in fact he made less mistakes back then. His speed and power made it easy for him to finish most of his rallies quickly but he also won a lot of long rallies. Some of his in olympics 2008 was over 50 shots and one really long rally was 91 shots against Chen Jin in semi final. As LD got slower he depended more on strategy but it doesnt mean that he couldnt do it back then.

Respect to two legendary badminton men single player They are always the best

thank you very much for taking the trouble to make the video. I enjoy it immensely.

7:31 - “Lin Dan’s won it all.” No reply from Morten after that. Can’t argue with trophies.

this super dan was on beast mode. all of his opponents that time would enter the game with prepare-to-lose mood.

This (2011) is the best Lin Dan ever!! even now, no one is close to 2011 LD's level.

It was both a dream and a nightmare to have Prime Lin Dan as opponent. The way He toss around in the 1st match despite the strong aggressive tactic shows how much control and read he have over the game.

Indeed Peter had to come up with a winning strategy and be disciplined enough to apply it under the pressure.

I'm a big fan of Momota, LCW, Ginting, Taufik and other players in general, but I just don't know, this version of Lin Dan makes it seem effortless? Players in the present are all very good, quick and powerful ; they all have good footwork but Lin Dan's movement make it seem like he's just casuall hovering around the court, like no unnecessary movements, he's got the flow lol. Is it because he reads the game better? Or perfect height weight proportions for a singles player? He has a small height/reach advantage compared to momota, LCW, ginting, etc, without being overly tall like Axelsen, and some other tall players.

@ari-athbadminton0301

Жыл бұрын

It boils down to shot quality and tactical awareness.. Lin Dan knows WHEN to use neutralization shots into the mid court to give him extra time for recovery, learning how to slow the pace means opponents need to inject speed if they wish to break his control. Notice Lin Dan strike only when there is an opening or when his opponent give him free lift or upward drive on his forehand. Also He got massive power to use the full count length and add to his recovery. The energy he saves on his legs are released only when he's pushed into the corners. When you control so well the height of your lifts the timing become easier to predict hence your footwork becomes more economical. He's also very skilled to adapt at his opponent rackets movements. His height has also the perfect balance for smash steepness (effectiveness) and shot preparation (time to get under the shuttle).

Lin Dan No 1

Wow Lin dan you'r perfect after years?more than Momota

The difference as I mentioned was that LD is more dynamic due to his better fitness. And please dont bring CL beating Momota yesterday to say that the post-prime CL can beat Momota. He was obviously not at his best fitness condition. LD in his prime would also lose if facing the same situation. LD 2011 also lost to players like Wong Wing Ki. Does that mean LD sucks?
