Hi Nikhil,

Ma Lin uses the more traditional Chinese penhold grip with the fingers curled on the back of the racket.  

Because Wang Hao uses a lot of Reverse Penhold Backhands (RPB) he tends to have the bat turned around in his hand more often by putting more pressure on the thumb to rotate the bat in his hand a little to get the angle for the RPB.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
