**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.

Thank you everybody for 1 million views. This table tennis legend deserves this. I'll make part 2 ***Ma Lin -Penhold God II***, as appreciation to all of you. His legacy deserves to be recognized by future generations. Video will come out in early March.

There is no one who wouldn’t be impressed by that even if they don’t play ping pong. Underrated beautiful sport

[thondupandrugtsang]

It takes equally good opponents to show truly how good you are. Amazing.

[contoso]

This man's playing style is the most passionate I've ever seen in all time players. Proud!

[gaborszeleczki]

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.
They both deserved the grand slam so much. :/

4:37 when the opponent's coach cheers for Ma Lin you know he is in another level

[askyify]

His reflexes are superb. Many players unable to use penhold grip due to its limitations. But he just used it perfectly with his flair and talent.

[slavisa]

And once again YouTube's recommending system has brought us all together

[Husainbhinder]

It's considered a compliment when someone says that 'so and so makes so and so sport look easy/effortless, ' but to be very honest, Ma Lin makes Table Tennis look like it does take a lot of perseverance, hard work and effort.

Table tennis inventors: we have invented a game
Chinese : yes

[jiannanxu]

As a table tennis amateur, I used to imitate Ma Lin's play style, which I think is really tricky and unpredictable.
Ma is also well-known for his strong psychology that helps him perform calmly in a clutch time.

100 % physical + 100% psychological + 200 % hard trainings + 300 % skill = 1 genius Ma Lin.

[ambalavanant]

I remember watching him play live and it was jaw dropping stuff every time.

[zanderchin]

4:23 When he jumped back on screen I lost it

[pomotexan]

I think that one "thumbs down" vote was from Wang Hao.

[antoniomontgomery]

So glad this was recommended. The eye hand coordination, reflexes, quick feet is insane.

[SaipaiaFinau]

This was insane! It was like watching poetry in motion & he definitely deserves the title "Ma Lin -Penhold God." Heck, even his opponents were fantastic

[xavierm]

The last match on this video is one of the most incredible volleys I’ve seen of a table tennis match looking like a tennis match..the accuracy and precision is unparalleled !

[dherz]

The best table tennis video I have ever seen. A genuine inspiration. He never concedes a point.
