drop shot

From About.com

Definition: A drop shot in table tennis is a shot that is hit softly and with touch, so that the ball just clears the net and stays short, ideally so it bounces low and at least twice on the table.

The drop shot is best used against opponents who are far away from the table, or who are moving away from the table.

Also Known As: drop, stop
