fake flick

After thinking about it in more detail, I think it is possible to adapt this to a short push as well. So you have the heavy sideunderspin short push which is generated by a downwards wrist movement (cutting down) and the scoop up movement which generates no spin or even sidetopspin. So theoretically you could cut it first, then scoop it up. Depending on which is the true movement and which is the fake movement you could probably trick the opponent if the fake movement is convincing enough.
