    / top8tt Ma Lin (马琳, 馬琳 )is a retired Chinese table tennis player. He learned to play table tennis at the age of five and became a member of the provincial team in 1990. In 1994, he joined the Chinese national team.
    Part 2 is out: **Ma Lin - Penhold God II (Signature Shots)**
    • Ma Lin - Penhold God I...
    *Sorry for text at the start of the video, I try to hide it with annotations, but that only works on desktop pc. I can't edit that without creating a new video. It is only about 10 seconds. My new videos doesn't have that, I know the rules now. Thank you!*
    Ma Lin uses the penhold grip. An aggressive player, he is known for his converse unpredictable serves, heavy short push receives, fast footwork, and powerful third ball attacks. In addition to possessing a solid backhand block, Ma Lin also uses the reverse penhold backhand (RPB), an innovative stroke utilizing the underside of the blade which allows a penholder to produce topspin from both wings. The most dangerous weapon Ma Lin has in his arsenal, however, is his consistent forehand loop, which he often uses to end a point decisively. He is also considered as a master at serving and his serve is considered one of the best in the world earning the nickname "Ghost Service". It involves the ball bouncing back to the net instead of going straight out of the table.
    Because of this, Ma Lin has claimed the titles "Maestro Ma Lin," "Defense Killer," and "Table Tennis Olympic Champion."
    Ma Lin is currently using a Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive Penhold as his blade. He uses DHS NEO Skyline 2 TG2 for his forehand and Butterfly Bryce Speed FX for his backhand.

    If you are a penholder, and you just want to improve your technique - watch Wang Hao. An unprecedented, beautiful and unique style, simply a joy to watch.
    However, if you want to improve any other aspect of your game - just watch Ma Lin. Tactics, strategy, serve, dedication, discipline... and shenaniganry. A lot of shenaniganry. He is the main reason why I switched to penhold grip as an adult.

    • @GIN.356.A
      @GIN.356.A Před 7 lety +15

      Yeah Ma Lin has a hard time against solid 2 wing shakehand attackers, but Ma Lin is a really smart and aggressive player, which is more important for penholders. The way I see it, Because Wang Hao is no weakness in his backhand, he cant be exploited by shakehand players, and penhold's advantage when dealing with balls in the middle gave Wang Hao an edge. However, Ma Lin (and Xu Xin now, to a certain extent) does not rely on out-playing, Ma Lin gambles on every chance ball and plays a lot of "all or nothing" shots with extremely high single shot quality. And often times, Wang Hao, and other shakehand players could not withstand the Gambit. Personally, I think penholders should play like Ma Lin and develop a crafty and extremely aggressive playstyle, of course we should work on our backhand to mitigate its weakness whenever we could, but that should not be the focus.

      ways to offensive to be compared to nadal. nadal plays a lot behind the base line with very heavy topspin. ma lin plays shorts with pushes and blocks, and likes to counter topspin for short points. just when he has to, he goes into top- top rallies!
      he's a lot more like the young federer who liked to gain short points with a offensive style (serve and volley for example), but could also play base line tennis when needed!
