Ma Long's topspin
Strokes
Lukas Oberbanscheidt Asked 13 years ago
I think when Ma Long does a topspin or a loop, he uses his wrist not much at all, but his topspins or loops are very spinny anyway. So where he got the most spin?

Hi Lukas,
He gets a lot of his spin by the brushing contact on the ball and the speed of his forearm. He does though also get a bit of wrist movement. If you are able to slow the stroke down you will see a whipping action at the start of the stroke.

Can I use it to circulate a smash or must i change the angle?
Lukas
For the smash change the angle and flatten out the contact to get the ball moving faster.
