there's actually tricks to increasing the force that you hit with,switching directions of the shuttlecock and receiving a smash. beginner tip for hitting the shuttlecock(OP):- keep twitching your wrist thats holding the racket. proceed to hit the shuttlecock. be amazed at the sheer increase of power you've managed to put into the shuttlecock. this twitching motion increases your wrist's power transmission to the shuttlecock. its a immediate difference. for other tips on badminton, tho im not a so-called pro player,im decent, feel free to PM me  | ||

I personally enjoyed the cartoon that he drew... and it's not like he copy and pasted an unrelated, unfunny image macro... seriously dont understand this ban. | ||

People do funny shit all over this site. Think of this as quality control. Don't sleep on old people in sports. I used to watch the racketball people at my old gym when I rode the bike. There was a 60+ year old dude who regularly would school younger dudes. | ||

I used to get beaten by my grandparents in tennis untill I was around 19. And they were 80 by then. And I was not bad at all. And just last week I was playing squash like I do every week and between games this old guy came over to give me some tips and pointers and my play really improved afterwards. Just to show you never to underestimate an older person still actively participating in a sport. | ||

Pretty stupid, what he did wasn't even an image macro. It was an original mspaint, with the use of the troll pic thing. I wish I could try out badmitton. Don't think it's played around here... I used to play in my backyard with my family when I was younger and that was fun. We had some cheap set though and a lot of the times if we hit it hard the birdie would get stuck in the racket t.t | ||

User was temp banned for this post. I read up about the reason YaKool was banned and it was "image macros". But that picture wasn't an image macro and I actually thought it was quite funny. This post is feedback to say that I disagree with the banning. | ||

I have NEVER lost a game of chess so badly in my life! Handicapped or not, this guy was phenomenal! It took less than 15 minutes, I only took TWO of his pieces, and he proceeded to toy with me the last few turns by taking all my pieces except the king while loudly proclaiming how awesome he was. I was pretty ashamed I had judged him off the bat, so instead of taking the bus I walked the three miles to my destination in shame! | ||

Although all these older guys are former provincial/national champions. Most of them at least. And it's played more in Asia because for one it's the national sport of a couple countries, including China. Not to mention there are hundreds more clubs to play in there, in Canada there's maybe one club per city save a few areas like Toronto. In china there are courts to play on everywhere. They get the funding that hockey does here. | ||

This post is feedback to say that I disagree with the banning. An image macro is a picture with superimposed text, often for humorous effect. On Internet forums and imageboards, image macros are used to emphasize a certain phrase (often an Internet meme) by superimposing it over a related picture. what's hard to understand there??? | ||
