We already had recorded a smash speed over 400 km/h at the speed test in the development stage. (Tested by nac Image Technology Inc.)
In September, 2009, YONEX Co. Ltd. shot the moment of Tan Boon Heong (Malaysia)’s smash using ultrahigh-speed camera. The camera can shoot 20000-exposure a second. We calculated the initialspeed of shuttlecocks by the photography records.
As a result, the record for the initial speed of badminton smashes, at 421km/h has been certificated by Guinness World RecordsTM. On March 8th, the President of YONEX Co. Ltd., Ben Yoneyama received the certification.
