Taufik Hidayat- The Indonesian Ace

- A montage to one of the most famous international badminton players and the most talented player to ever play the sport... a man notorious for his sensational netplay, backhand, nerves of steel, deception and general love for the game.
Ever since his win at the 2004 Olympics, he has revolutionized the game and the players that are responsible for having taken the game to the next level, where the tactical and complex game that is seen in today's badminton stemmed from this man's racket. Still competing into his very late 20's and competing at the very top, here are some displays of skill from the Indonesian ace Taufik Hidayat...
NOTE- Please note that I DO NOT own any of the visual or audio material that is being displayed in this video - Sport

What else can I say? He is just so much fun to watch!!! The variety of shots, fluid footwork, sharp tactics, and mental control are hard to matched by any other players. Unlike Chinese players who play like robots, he makes badminton beautiful :)
He is legendary
The master of badminton's art using backhand......
i don't know why you people always compare LD, LCW and Taufik, sometimes Peter Gade too....every player has their special skill, their better abilities than each other, and of course their weakness..every player has their best era...if you search about taufik biography, he got his first title at 18 years old...i don't remember what it is, but if see nowadays, i can't see any player can do this in MS.
In my opinion too...among of the best player in 2000 era - the 4 king (Lin Dan, Lee C. W., Peter Gade, Taufik), Taufik is more complete and unique...he will be remembered as Mr. Back hand smash, who never win All-england i think. 305 km/h fore hand smash in a game, alson something really special from him...
respect
Love Hidayat. The fact he was so imperfect and had such an unorthodox way of playing made him so much fun to watch
Yeh exactly, his play is like a form of art, and always entertaining
He made badminton more artistic... His strokes, movements, tricks, calmness, cheer on his face somtime, character of play even his attitude...
That was the reason we love him so much...:-D
Like the way Taufik plays. His style of play is very different from other top players.
I think it is hard for Indonesia to find a replacement for Taufik as he is a complete player during his prime. We hardly find top players relying on their backhand skills like Taufik does which is just extraordinary. I mean how often do we see a backhand smash from Lin Dan or Chong Wei?
But however, there is also a negative side to over-rely on the backhand. No matter how good is the backhand, it will never compensate for a strong forehand or smash return. Also, Taufik lacks speed, stamina and determination.
But overall, he is indeed a complete package and is one of my favourites.
I rarely see him miss on a backhand smash. He doesn't do it that often.
True that..... a real and rare talent.. he will always be the boy wonder of badminton...
lately i notice how incredible taufik net play back then... and now ginting adopted this technique.
There is no one badminton player like Taufik's backhand has although he is not as good as he was a few years ago because of his age. Taufik is the best acrobatic badminton player in the world!! One and only
LCW, Taufik , LD and Peter Gade is LEGEND
taufik is an artist n badminton, he make bedminton looks beauty.
badminton is not just smash smash and smash, but how to make it interesting and entertaning.
but chineses players broke it, havent art in their games
good job taufik. you're the best player ever
the only badminton player who makes me amazed, with a very beautiful game
badminton player who has the full blow ever
I don't care Whatever you all said !!!! World knows
Taufik Hidayat is the Simply Best of Badminton...
he is the One Badminton Player who mixed the SPORT AND ART ! And the most special inspirative words from him is.. When he said : "saat kita kalah Tersenyumlah,dan bangkit kembali !, selama kita masih bisa tersenyum kita belum kalah" "when we lose the match,just smile and get up!, as long as we are still able to smile, we have not lost"
he had art of badminton
my fafourite atlet ..
is TAUFIK HIDAYAT ..
Taufik is awesone,no one can replace him...A true legend.
Ok. Lin Dan have so many medal and achievment. But Taufik have Skill. Taufik show us the art of badminton when he playing. And yes, the backhand smash 😂 only him can do that.
Lin Dan Vs Lee Chong Wei (ex),
When playing badminton Both of them are bored to see :p
its hard to beat this man on his prime era (2004-2006).
This is the best highlights of one of the best badminton player ever.
true legend Mr backhand smash
best taufik tribute in youtube!
WOW...guys some of these comments are a bit hectic...lets jus watch this video and appreciate a really good player who yes at times has beaten lin dan and lee chong wei and other times lost...but its jus a video guys...his been in the top 10 for the past 10 years i think it is an achievement...:D were all brothers of badminton...cheers
he is legend !!!
badminton player who has the complite blow ever
taufik proven the fact that badminton is not just about smashing !
Mereka berjaya di masing-masing eranya..
i think taufik is the legend.. :\
his backhand smash is more powerful than my forehand. i can die in peace now =(
is the best taufik
woooww......0o,)
amzing taufik...
no one has master the backhand like he does
Definitely an ART
Taufik hidayat is already retired for ply
But lee cong we still plying until now...
And Taufik hidayat be head office now
Good luck !
taufik pro!!!
Can someone put a compilation of Taufik to "This Is How We Do It" by Montel Jordan. Its a great track and one that would be most fitting to watch Taufik at his best.
skill taufik hidayat very god............
i still don't get it, how can he do that strong backhand
@Llucius1 he is a briliant badminton player!
Had, and he achieved that great smash through his flawless technique, not brute force. Of course he was very very fit, he was a professional athlete after all, but in comparison to players like Lin Dan or Lee Hyun Il he was just not special in that regard. They were both faster and had more stamina. Btw, LHI smashed harder than that in the 2006 World Championships iirc. 308 I think. LD also cracked the 300 in that tournament, I think - and he was the most explosive player in 2005-2010.
when taufik still in his prime, he will make both LD and LCW look like a noob..
Thank you so much for good video, Wonderful! May I use 04:17 to show my primary school's badminton kids?
2022
6:40 Rally is epic
Good job mr
for those idiots who's comparing LD and Taufik, is just like picking which is better between Zidane and Gerarrd.. both r excellent midfielders, but when comes to beauty, i think we all agree no one is better than Zidane aight?? same story here with Taufik.. diff era diff hero(s), but BEAUTY/ART remains for good~
woo majulah indonesia!
I agree that he is a great player, but stating that he was the single greatest player to walk the earth in his prime is just not true.
Personally, I love to watch him play since he has a beautiful style and great technique, but LD and LCW are just on another level concerning speed and agility around the court, and he could never have matched that. I think he would've had a good fighting chance in a prime-vs-prime matchup, but lost the majority as he was never a very physical player.
@Llucius1 he is the briliant badminton player
5:39 "constant lucky!"
@pking4lifely @pking4lifely such a debatable statement dude >.
Taufik is hot!
Lin Dan = Messi
Lee Chong Wei = Cristiano Ronaldo
Taufik = Ronaldinho
All are legend players.
bitch please messi didnt win shit
Messi = Lindan
Cristiano Ronaldo = Lee Chong Wei
Ronaldinho = Taufik
@kendykornelius i dont think so. both of them + taufiq hidayat are pro & hv their own fans & skills
wew
Anyone noticed that Taufik looks like Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing, a Hongkong pop singer and movie star who suicided years ago?
04:00 woww
Song name at 12:35? Plz answer!
busettt..04:11 jurus apaan tuh,,bisa ketipu gitu loL
Had. And that doesn't mean he has the stamina to move fast for all of an hour.....that's what I was referring to. Also his powerful smashes were produced by his awesome technique, not impressive strength.
taufik skill is more freestyle is it ?
yes,LD has won everythng. yes,our badminton nowadays is nothing 2 compare with china. but dude, the only major title that taufik hasn't claim was all england. so at least i can say he barely won everything. i think he deserve some respect for his achievements. people fell in love with taufik cuz his unique style, if u hate him so much why u still watch this video? >_<
bottomline LD&LCW is better now but taufik has beat them when he still in his prime. that's the meaning of my previous comment
2024.1
"You talking like a true haters and not a badminton lover. Lin Dan is one of the Best but not the best of the best. Maybe you just start watching Badminton in last 5 yrs. Rudy Hartono is the greatest badminton players, Lin Dan, Taufik, LCW and Peter Gade are among the Best. Lin Dan Play very well but hes not unique. His smash? Liem Swie King still the King of Smash but Taufik unique character and style will always be remembered and very hard to duplicate"
hello vincent chen...taufik won first title 18years old... he won sea games gold medal,olympc gold medal sydney,thomas cup,asia games gold medal 2006 korea,he won world cup beat korea player..why u dont know about him? he mr.backhand if u dont know..mr.backhand..and now he have TAUFIK ARENA.. WHAT U LINDAN DOING NOW? STILL
yea taufik is great.but lindan has 2 olympic 5 world champion 5 all england and more..you must admit that taufik can never achieve that.
emma amannda Vincent Chen itu doyan bangeeettt menghina pemain2 Indo ... pemain2:Cina daratan didewain kayak dewa beneran.. sakit jiwaaa
kenapa semua bandingin Taufik Hidayat ma ,LD,LCW,PG. salah kalo bandingin Taufik ma mereka,coz Taufik dah masuk ke badminton elit dr thn 97______ dan di final Singapura open thn 99 Taufik vs Hariyanto Arbi. sedangkan mereka bertiga br masuk k kancah elit thn 2000 k atas,.
yg penting mereka legenda
@kendykornelius your comment so funny brother... XD
yes, LD has won everything.. yes, our badminton nowadays is nothing to compare with china.. but dude, the only title that taufik hasn't claim was all england.. so at least i can say he 'barely' won everything.. i think he deserve some respect for his achievements.
bottom line, LD & LCW is better now but taufik has beat them when he still in his prime.. that's the meaning of my previous comment..
peace bro :)
fyi, Lee Chong Wei is Taufik's best friend.
@TheDhiva Don't insult Lee Chong Wei, The best player in the world, Born in penang, From Malaysia, Lee Chong Wei, The best player in the world.
@sambaboy81 2004-2006, Taufik hidayat is the best player.
2008-2009, Lin dan is the best player. 2010.. Lcw & Lin dan equally good. 2011, Lee Chong Wei, the best player.
@TheDhiva Vice versa. When LD and LCW in their prime, taufik has no chance to win.
Taufik Hidayat is my favourite to watch but I disagree
He has done more than w/e you did in your life. Maybe you forgot that he actually was, or still is, the best backhand-er in the world? Oh, or maybe still on par with Ng Wei in term of fastest smash in tournament, 305km/hr btw. Or maybe because he got some medals and was #1 in BWF ranking? He has a wife? He got salaries? What about you? What have you done in your life? Right, criticizing and flaming all over the internet. *standing aplause* :)
dude, can u read what i wrote?
i say "when he still in his prime".. n yes i admit that nowadays LD & LCW beats him in almost every chance.
but your argument makes no sense cuz in athens 2004 & world championship 2005 (taufik still in his prime) both LD & LCW never beats taufik. in fact his head to head with LD was 3-12. all of his victories happens when taufik still in his prime.
dude, i respect both LD & LCW cuz they're the best in their era, but when taufik still in his prime, they're nothing.
@chris2972002 So when All of them was at his prime... LD and LCW are just like the justin beiber for badminton... which both of them a jokes...
Nahh...very much slower paced than either of them...He might be slightly better than LCW but against LD he stands no chance..

Lin and is best at this time, how about you? if you are interested in a single match with me. hahahaha ... : D JK
Lindan fuk
are you angry,,,
somebody has before,,,
next time lcw and lin dan will lostttt,,,,
@TheDhiva Lee Chong Wei 2011 would probably still win over taufik 2004, would be a great match to see, but lcw 2011 is now the best player of all times.
มึงก็เอาแต่ลูกที่ตีดีๆมาให้ดู
ลูกไม่ดีกูว่ามีเยอะกว่าดีอีก !
but never champion in All England.....
true
Dislike this video because it is pathetic when Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei are busy kicking his ass in every tournament.
Current head 2 head
Lin Dan - Taufik : 9 : 3
Lee Chong Wei - Taufik : 11 : 6
Oh wait, Marc Zwiebler of Germany leads Taufik by 2:0 in head 2 head.
Viktor Axelsen of DEN also leads by 1:0
HAHAHAHAHA
What has Taufik done to be considered great?
Who won the most number of All England titles? - Not Taufik (He didnt win a single one)
Who won the most number Olympic Gold medals? - Not Taufik (It's Lin Dan)
Who won the most number of Thomas Cups? - Lin Dan
Who won the most number of Sudirman Cups? - Lin Dan
Who won the most number of World Championships - Lin Dan
Who won the most number of Super Series titles - Lee Chong Wei
Taufik Hidayat has achieved nothing to be considered a great. shit btw
Lin Dan is better than him. Period.
Lin Dan won everything. What has he got?
No All England, No Sudirman Cup, No World Cup, No World Super Series titles and so many more.
Lin Dan : 50 titles
Taufik ? 25 titles with no All England, China, Denmark, Japan, Korea titles ? Not even close.
Keep dreaming fools. Lin Dan has reached completeness while he is in the Hall of Shame
Ambassador of the game when he has been winning nothing in the last six years ?
Please......
Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei can take him out anytime.
What a joker ?
Today, LD and LCW are busy kicking his ass in every tournament. Taufik lose to almost everyone today.
Lin Dan prime or no prime, still thrash Taufik Hidayat in the Olympics.
Lee Chong Wei prime or no prime, still beat Taufik Hidayat in straight sets.
Indonesian badminton is a joke today. Not worth comparing with China when we have Lin Dan who has won everything.
Has Taufik won everything?
2023.6
he had art of badminton
Definitely an ART
