in TERMS of: 1.percentage of success of the attack
2.easier to perform
3.harder for our opponent to counter or block the attack
4.in driving(smash) a rotating ball (chop, top spin, side spin, spiral and combinations)
5.in driving(smash) a fast moving ball w/out any rotation

Hi Felix,
It is better to work on the topspin because you can add more speed and still have safety. Only when the ball is higher should you flatten out the contact. You will see that the better players very rarely use a flat ball. Most of the tie they have some degree of topspin on their shots.

The Push in Detail
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.
