Hi Nick,
He really launches himself into the stroke. Using a lot of wrist he is able to generate great racket head speed.
The principles he uses are the same as we show you in the lesson on the Forehand Flick, just he has practiced it for many years.

Alois, how can i do it so effective because i am a shakehander?
Take a look at the lesson and then try to work on the basics first. Once you can do that then start to thin about hitting the ball faster. Remember Ma Lin didn’t get to be able to do this flick in a short amount of time.
