Hello!

Do you think this is a top or a flat hit?

Slow motion:



I can see that the ball rotates and goes into the table thanks to the spin on it...

Normal speed:
?t=74

Or would you call it loop kill?

By the way: I use Victas TDE 57.5º black on drive, very explosive sound, very hard rubber. Chinese sticky type

Definitely topspin because you bat comes up from below the ball. Yes I'd call it a look-kill.

Very thanks for your words! I agree.
Sorry to bother you, could you tell me about your experience in table tennis? your level of play, years of practice? Thank you

I guess it depends on how you define "flat hit". It definitely has topspin on it (all so-called "flat hits" have some topspin or else the wall wouldn't dip down to hit the table), but it's not a loop-kill, and it is being hit relatively flat compared to other sorts of topspin drive or loop drive.

It seems coaches emphasize more and more on 'hit' in a loop. From the perspective of physics, pressing ball into the rubber indeed increases the friction.

MADE IN RUSSIA.
Fastest ever backhand pushing, no spin on the ball.

Advanced pushing technique by Russian youngster Gleb Shilov 16 y.o. He is a semi-profi ranked amongst top100. Forceful sideway motion of the racket hand is the key.

Be happy.
