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 pivot is where you are moving around your backhand corner to play a forehand. This is something that will come in handy in a match situation, especially if you have a stronger forehand. We will show you the best way to move in the pivot footwork.
