When the ball is under the table like 20-30 centimetres i want to know how can i hit the ball with sidespin and when it touches the table ... just fly off the table.

Hi Dinu,

We call this the Wobbly shot.

You are basically doing a sidespin chop from below the table level.  Brush across the ball to generate the sidespin.  It becomes more difficult for your opponent because they can't see the contact because it is below the table level.

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.
