Ma Lin: 10 Ridiculous Skills That No One Expected - Table Tennis Legend

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 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.

Bad beat: Casinos betting on millennial customers find that gaming - minus social elements - isn’t luring them back post-pandemic. https://bit.ly/2OovCza
* Casino Holdem® Chips-Tricks™ + CHINA got SKILL: Ma Lin Table Tennis Legend (10 Ridiculous Skills That No One Expected). CHINAgotSKILL.com | https://bit.ly/3gRyKiV

*** Online gaming, which has been touted as the industry’s answer to its missing millennial problem, has in theory been allowed throughout the pandemic. But, at least when it comes to online sports betting, there’s the obvious problem - professional sports aren’t happening.

*** Betting on ‘The Ocho’?
It’s a sport no one would’ve wagered on: Ping-Pong (Table Tennis).
Against the odds, Dustin Gouker of sportsbook and online gaming website PlayNJ.com said bets on table tennis amounted to about half of sports bets placed to bookmakers in New Jersey and other states throughout April and May when the seasons of professional sports came to a standstill.

“So, even given the limited amount of what’s going on, that’s a crazy amount of betting on this sport,” Gouker said. “People might’ve played in their basement as a kid. It’s easy to get into. And there’s a high volume of matches being streamed online, mostly in Asia and Russia.”... https://bit.ly/2OovCza
