Hi Dinu,

We call this the Wobbly shot.

You are basically doing a sidespin chop from below the table level.  Brush across the ball to generate the sidespin.  It becomes more difficult for your opponent because they can't see the contact because it is below the table level.

Slow to Fast Progression

It's important to practice your shots slowly to get the correct technique. That will lead you to being able to hit the ball faster. You do need to practice these faster shots in training before using them in a match.
