Thx a lot 4 the hard work, I think Ma Long´s forehand technique is one of the best in history, so its a good choice to analyze his to improve one owns

Here We have Zhang Jike Flip.
TOE POINTING TOWARDS THE DIRECTION OF THE BALL (STEPPING INTO THE SHOT)
1.WRIST HORIZONTAL WITH THE BALL
2.LOWERING THE BACK (COILING EFFECT)
3.THE BACK OF WRIST POINTING TOWARDS THE BALL

STRAIGHTENING OF ELBOW A FEW MILLISECONDS BEFORE THE SNAP OF THE WRIST, PRODUCING TOP SPIN AND SOME POWER

JUST BEFORE HITTING THE BALL, THE WEIGHT IS TRANSFERRED TO RIGHT FOOT (IF YOU ARE RIGHT HANDED)


FINALLY THE ARCH ON BACK STRAIGHTENED OUT TO GIVE THE REMAINING POWER NEEDED (IN ADDITION TO THE ELBOW & WRIST ACTIONS)

They do not have any virus but if you want me I can upload them to megaupload as well... Or I cand send them to you by email... Now there are different options.. google and 4shared or the embedded pictures...

Now something that I need to say is that it is easier to perform these forehand strokes with chinesse rubber like Hurricane III or skyline III.... At least that is what I felt against backspin balls because before I was using jap rubbers....
