Hi Alois,
In this video, what is Ma Lin doing? Is it a push?

Hi Archel,
Yes it is a short push with a lot of backspin. YOu will notice how early he takes the ball after the bounce and it is just the angle of the bat that generates the spin. You don't need to do a lot with the ball to generate a lot of spin.
The humble push does not sound like an exciting stroke but it is one of the most important shots in Table Tennis. Having a great short push can be the difference between being an average player and being a great player. Make sure you allocate the appropriate amount of practice to mastering the push.
