Strokes
In womens matches i see what looks to be a flat hit, but it's low and they generate a lot of power off a very compact swing.
What type of shot is this and is it useful to learn?
Hi Frank,
They are playing a fast close to the table topspin with a short swing. They tend to hit the ball a little flatter than the men in general but still generating spin by brushing the ball very fast.
It can be a useful shot for anyone when you are playing closer to the table.

The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.
