Hi Judah,

If you watch the slow motion carefully you will see that on the backswing he does use a lot of wrist getting it right back and then his follow through he moves his wrist right forward. You must have wrist to generate spin. Ma Long is doing that during his serve but it can be difficult to see because of the speed he does it.
