Yes that certainly is a legal return. We often refer to this as a roll since the ball ends up rolling along the table. Unfortunately I don't think we can teach this shot. It's not something you will get a lot of practice in.

Speaking of around the net shots, here is another one that happened in our first ever PingSkills Classic.
