Kemajuan Putri Indonesia di Ajang Singapore Badminton SS 2008

Hari ini, sabtu 14 Juni 2008 saya membaca berita di situs bulutangkis.com dan ada sebuah berita mengejutkan dari tunggal putri unggulan Indonesia yaitu, Adrianti Firdasari yang mengalahkan unggulan pertama dalam ajang pertandingan bulutangkis Singapore SS 2008.

Dalam pertandingan tersebut Adrianti Firdasari mengalahkan unggulan pertama asal Belanda Pi Hongyan dengan rubber set dan meraih poin 21-15, 20-22, 21-16. Tetapi kemenangan Firdasari ini tidak diikuti oleh teman senegaranya yaitu, Pia Bernazet Zubadeah. Pemain putri Indonesia masa depan ini harus bekerja keras mengalahkan unggulan ketiga sekaligus peringkat tujuh dunia asal China yaitu, Wang Chen dengan rubber set (21-15, 15-21, 18-21). Namun ketika saya membaca berita ini dengan seksama, ada satu hal yang sangat mencengangkan saya, yaitu kerja keras yang ditunjukkan oleh pemain Indonesia ini sehingga dapat menahan Wang Chen sampai-sampai bermain dengan rubber set. Ini bukan lah suatu hal yang biasa, karena bagaimanapun ini merupakan suatu prestasi besar yang ditunjukkan para srikandi Indonesia setelah kemarin pada ajang Uber Cup 2008 memasuki babak final dan sekarang mereka kembali dapat bersaing secara ketat dalam ajang Super Series dan memperlihatkan kualitas mereka. Saya bangga dengan para pemain Indonesia yang masih dapat bersaing dengan pemain lain setelah sekian lama vakum dari prestasi. Dan saya harap, teruslah maju sampai babak final dan kibarkanlah bendera Indonesia di negeri orang dan nyanyikanlah 'Indonesia Raya' sebagai simbol kemenangan dan kehebatan kita dalam dunia bulutangkis. Dan berikut hasil lainnya yang saya dapat dari situs bulutangkis.com :

• Vita Marissa/Lilyana Natsir-Mok Jing Qiong Mok/Shi Yan Samantha Neo (Singapore) 21-5, 21-11 (M)
  

• Simon Santoso-Shoji Sato (Jepang) 21-19, 21-14 (M)

Sejumlah Pemain Indonesia Mundur Pada Singapore Super Series

Sebelum menjalani laga Badminton Indonesia Open SS pada tanggal 17 Juni nanti, beberapa pemain Indonesia yang dijadwalkan berlaga pada event sebelumnya yaitu Singpore Open SS pada tanggal 10 Juni, secara tiba-tiba banyak yang mundur oleh karena sakit. Ada apa ini? Berita selengkapnya klik kink di bawah ini. (read more)

Sejumlah pemain Indonesia bergiliran mundur dari turnamen Singapura Super Series 10-15 Juni. Mereka yang mundur umumnya menderita cedera atau sakit.

Sejak awal, Sony Dwi Kuncoro dan Maria Kristin sudah tak didaftarkan. Mereka lebih dikonsentrasikan untuk berlaga di Indonesia Super Series pada 17-22 Juni di Jakarta. Di Piala Thomas-Uber lalu, mereka memang sudah dibelit cedera.

“Biar Sony istirahat memu¬lihkan cedera sambil berlatih supaya bisa tampil di Indonesia Super Series. Setelah itu ma¬sih ada waktu lagi untuk berkon¬sentrasi melakukan persiapan ke Olimpiade,” jelas Hendrawan, pelatih tunggal putra.
Di nomor tunggal putra, Tau¬fik Hidayat, Alamsyah Yunus, dan terakhir Tommy Sugiarto, menyusul absen. Taufik juga memilih berlatih dan melakukan persiapan seperti Sony.
Sementara itu, Alamsyah me¬ngalami kecelakaan sehingga tangannya cedera. “Menyesal juga karena batal berangkat, pada¬hal pul saya tergolong enak,” ujar Alamsyah.
Selasa (3/6) siang, seusai latihan, Hendrawan sudah memperingatkan dua anak buahnya yang tersisa, Simon Santoso dan Tommy, untuk menjaga kondisi. Namun, Rabu (4/6), Kabid Pembinaan dan Prestasi, Lius Pongoh, menyebut Tommy juga batal berangkat karena sakit. Selain Simon, skuad Cipa¬yung menyisakan Andreas Adit¬yawarman yang akan berlaga di Singapura.
Di nomor ganda putra, pasangan Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan juga mundur karena sakit. “Dua-duanya terkena gejala tifus. Minggu lalu mereka istirahat latihan. Sekarang juga belum bisa maksimal karena terkadang masih lemas dan mengeluh pusing,” jelas Sigit Pamungkas, pelatih ganda putra.
Indonesia masih akan menyertakan Luluk Hadiyanto/Alvent Yulianto, Joko Riyadi/Hendra Gunawan, dan M. Ahsan/Bona Septano di ganda putra. “Sama seperti mereka yang tak jadi berangkat, Kido/Hendra lebih baik memulihkan kondisi dan mempersiapkan diri untuk main di Indonesia Open saja,” ujar Sigit.

Menurut saya, langkah yang diambil para pelatih dan pemain Indonesia dalam kasus ini sudah benar. Karena apabila dilihat dari gengsi pertandingan, Indonesia Open SS lebih terasa bergengsi daripada Singapore Open dan apalagi even ini adalah even yang diadakan oleh negara kita sendiri, yang seharusnya Indonesia meraih banyak gelar oleh karena faktor "Tuan Rumah" dari even ini. Saya harap pemain yang sakit dapat cepat sembuh dan bermain bagus pada nantinya di laga Indonesia Open SS 2008.

Okay, first based on stroke method in badminton divided to be 2 parts, that is stroke forehand and stroke of backhand. But that stroke i shall explain the detailer later and really in posting this time i only will explain to you are term in stroke and direction of the stroke. (Look the picture and the explanation mentioned below)

1. Service

The meaning of stroke service is the first ball that precede the game. Service divided to be 3, that is short service (A), long service (B) and drive service(C).

• Short service done only need a little energy. Impressing shuttlecock enough with pushed use heavy transfer of body from hind forwards rhythmically. In do this movement, try shuttlecock walk nearly as you can with height of net so that can be difficult to opponent.


• Long service usually used in single game. With this service, the shuttlecock can near backline and nosedive straight sharp downwards. This stroke service, need many energies.


• Drive service done by strike shuttlecock as far as you can with direction of ball horizontally and fast, so that opponent will difficult to return back the service.

2. Stroke Beside Service (Lob, drive, dropshot, smash, netting


• Defensive Lob (A)
Defensive lob used to defend attack, done with throw tall shuttlecock far until backline.

• Dropshot (B)
Stroke dropshot that stroke done with a purpose to laid shuttlecock as soon as it and nearly with net in field of opponent.

• Attack Lob (C)
Attack lob stroke taken from in front of body above head, throw with low and fast.

• Drive (D)
Drive stroke aimed along line side and horizontal as high as net, as a mean to speed up time of game with launch shuttlecock rock-bottom in net.

• Smash (E)

• Netting (F)
Netting stroke is stroke that taken as high as and as soon as possible in front of net and stroke netting must throw as low as may be with lip of net.

Yes, may be to do this stroke need much time to practice. But if you want to try and want to increase your skill, you must take a lot of exercise.
