April 8, 2026 — At the Mixed Doubles event of the 2026 Asian Badminton Championships, Team Kumpoo member and Hong Kong, China player CHAN Yin Chak competed alongside his partner. Facing a top Indonesian pair ranked World No. 10, CHAN was unable to advance, but his fighting spirit and strong tactical execution provided valuable experience for future competitions.
This year’s Asian Championships brought together the continent’s top talents, with every match presenting a tough challenge. CHAN Yin Chak wore Kumpoo KH-G805 professional shoes, equipped with the VeloLite ultra-light outsole, delivering exceptional court feel and rapid stopping ability. This enabled him to maintain explosive movement, quick starts, and stable landings throughout high-speed rallies.
On the offensive end, CHAN wielded the Kumpoo Asura II racket paired with JS-65 string. This combination offered both powerful attacking capability and precise control, with sharp shot placement and crisp execution. His attacks were fierce and decisive, making it difficult for opponents to respond. Whether at the net or in backcourt smashes, the performance of his equipment provided strong support for his tactical play.
While the result may not have met expectations, the hard-fought three-game battle against a top-10 pair marked a valuable step in CHAN Yin Chak’s development. Beyond the result, the experience gained under high-intensity competition, a clearer understanding of areas for improvement, and the courage to challenge elite opponents will all serve as a solid foundation for his future rise in the rankings.
