The owner of the most beautiful backhand in badminton history. Taufik's natural talent and silky shot-making made him the poet of the sport — a player who created art on the court. His backhand smash, executed off the wrong foot with seeming effortlessness, remains the single most aesthetically celebrated shot in the game.
