After winning all three events in WTT Almate, China's young star Lin ShiDong continued unstoppable journey in WTT Macao capturing a much heavier crown on the way beating several very impressive players. He is hot, no doubt about.
However, even for such a bright star, there are still some TT fans found something thy dislike about him. The one stood out was, after a winning play and before he serves, he often make some wired chicken like funny sound. Some sensitive souls obviously are bothered by this sound.
After play chooing is quite common for most players, most famous one being Harimoto. Before serve chooing is not that common, European players usually don't do this. However, this type of chooing is pretty common for Asian players. If you pay attention, lots of them, Chinese, Japanese and Koreans do that. Ma Long, FZD do it occasionally. Girls do it more often, they do it before serve, before receive. The difference, girls do it in a soft pleasing tone, most men won't find unpleasant. But for some men, like LSD, the fortune is not on their side.
Why player chooing before the serve or receive? This is a way to calm the nerve and get focused. Player were taught doing this practice at early stage. It became a ritual later on in their professional career. I guess, you can say it's a east Asian TT training culture.
I don't know how to post video here. Here is YouTube link showing two pretty Korean girls match. You can hear they do pre-play chooing almost every time. But their tones are pleasing at least to my ears.
