While watching World Cup, Dan is interested with what Japanese call 'chiquita'. So, I make this thread as an FYI thread that there are two types of backhand flick (which I think in English, you guys call it both banana flick, which one is actually not).
EDIT: GO TO 1:54, for some reason the embedded video wont automatically go to 1m54s
The first one is chiquita:
The second one is what japanese call daijou doraibu (drive), which basically where you eat the spin of ball and overcome it with your wrist strength to lift the ball. The result is a topspin ball.
Players who do chiquita are for example: Koki Niwa, Fan Zhen Dong, Jun Mizutani, Kenta Matsudaira
Players who do daijou doraibu are for example: Zhang Ji ke, Ma Long, Xu Xin, Jun Mizutani
EDIT: I add some videos
Some chiquita videos:
Some daijou drive videos:

The first one is chiquita:
Ball is hit on the perpendicular side of the spin. For example, if the ball is pure underspin, you hit it on the left (a little bit bottom, so kind of bottom-left). This way your rubber won't eat the spin of the ball and you can lift the ball easily. The result is a spinny side spin ball (with slight/almost no topspin)
The second one is what japanese call daijou doraibu (drive), which basically where you eat the spin of ball and overcome it with your wrist strength to lift the ball. The result is a topspin ball.
