How does Ma Long hit that shot?

Hi Shaant,

This is a round the net shot.  He takes the ball late and waits till he has a clear path around the net and onto the table.  He also puts a bit of sidespin on the ball to help to get it past the net.

Take a look at our attempt at 2:35 on this video.  http://www.pingskills.com/blog/2012/07/20/creators-invade-london/#t=155
