Hello Sakumi:
I do not know how to beat flat hitters. I sometimes am described as a flat hitter.
I will tell you how to beat me:
1) Do NOT loop slow topspin to me, usually I put heavy downspin to elicit the slow topsin loop which I time and smash
2) if forced to lob, add sidespin. Best to do it under the table so I can't see the sidespin you put on it
3) make me move, do not hit to me, hit away from me, especially if you can with sidespin running away from me, although if you can add sidespin runinng INTO me to keep me guessing
4) if forced to return high, try to put downspin or make it look like you had downspin stroke on it to keep me guessing and put doubt in mind so I don't outright smash it
You do these well, or not do in the case of #1, you should beat me
HTH!
