PETALING JAYA: Indonesia's badminton legend Taufik Hidayat (pic) has hit the news again, this time it's for the wrong reason.

According to a news report by Antara news agency, Taufik has admitted to acting as an intermediary in an alleged bribery case implicating former Youth and Sports Minister Imam Nahrawi, who served from 2014 to 2019.

Why did Taufik never use low fast drive serves, especially to the body, given his immense wrist-work on the backhand?

probably due to the service rules at the time: contact below the 'waist' and head of racket must be completely below the hand. it would be hard to create a flat trajectory with those rules.
