Hey I was wondering if you could maybe give a tutorial or some insight on around the pole shots. Like how to utilize sidespin to get the ball to curve around the net and back on the table, to surprise the opponent and help get an edge on the game.

Hi Osae,

This is a shot that you only use in desperation when you are forced out wide.  We show the Panda doing one in our video on Panda Seeks Ping Pong Glory.  We might have to get him to show you the shot!

The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.
