I am trying to improve my reading spin on serves.
Was watching this Ma long vs Timo boll match and trying to analyse what spins on their serves. Some are easier to understand but some serves to me it seems like backspin serve but the return suggests serve was topspin. Or other way around.
If someone can help me figure out the spin combination (or no spin) on the ball at these moments would be great! Note that for many of the rally's they have a slow motion replay after the rally.

First is ma long's serve @1:02:29 - serve looks like heavy backspin but boll's flick seems to suggest it was maybe a topspin serve? What spin is on ma's serve?
Ma's serve @21:23, again i thought it was backspin?
Boll's serve @21:53 ?
Boll's serve @25:41?
Ma's serve @28:41?
Boll's serve @1:03:04?
Ma's serve @1:06:09?
and finally Boll's serve @1:07:26?
thanks heaps~
