people's evaluation

Malone's serve is mainly topspin and backspin on the side of the small triangle in forehand position, and the landing point changes a lot. The forehand position emphasizes the word "fast", the near-stage hand is active, the hitting point is early, the arc is well controlled, and the backhand position can effectively combine hitting and tearing, and make up for the lack of strength by using the change of landing point in the fast rhythm.

He has a strong ability to return short on both sides continuously, and his backhand twist and arc turn a little, which often makes his opponent make mistakes. Malone's style of play is very positive, just like himself. He is recognized by the team as the most hardworking and talented athlete and a "tactical master".
