Comment on Tan Boon Heong’s 421km/h Badminton Smash – a New World Record? by Palle Moller

Hey Michael,

Excellent discussion of speed measurements, very informative -
exactly what I was looking for. One thing you did not discuss
though was the effect of “laser gun sightline” versus “direction
of the smash”. Obviously the laser can measure only the
component of the velocity vetor parallel to the sightline of the
laser. This will always give a velocity measurement less than
the actual velocity unless the smash is aimed directly at the
laser. On would need the angle between the two in order to
correct for this. Do you know how this is done?

Cheers, all the best,
Palle

Hi Michael

You’ve done an excellent job of this site.

I’m like you in that I’m not 100% convinced about the technology for measuring shuttle speeds.

You’ve summed up the Z Slash really well. I’m so excited about this racquet having played with it and yet I’ve still not mastered it.

But, I can’t wait to try it again.

Good luck with this site. I’ve bookmarked it and will frequently visit to keep myself up to date!

To your success

Paul
