Can you spike a ball in table tennis?

In Table Tennis, you cannot "spike" the ball in the same way as in volleyball. The primary objective is to hit the ball with the racket after it has bounced on your side of the table, aiming to land it on your opponent's side. While you can hit the ball aggressively or with power, the technique is different and focuses on precision and spin rather than the downward force characteristic of a spike in volleyball.
