This is a video of table tennis player Adam Bobrow repeatedly demonstrating a tricky (and more importantly game-legal) around the net shot during a bunch of different matches. Some more info from Adam while I throw my paddle at my opponent just like how I’ve ended every game of ping pong I’ve ever played in my life:
From professionals (Chinese National Team member, Chen Ke and Uzbekistan National Team Member, Regina Kim), tooo college team players, coaches and local club players…. here are some around-the-net shots from challenge matches. Fun fact: when they are very low and bounce more than once… we call them “rollers” because they appear to roll.
Man, Adam does not disappoint when he tells you he’s got a fun fact coming your way — he delivers. If my fun facts were even half as fun I might actually write something I’m proud of for once. “Keep dreaming, GW.” It’s all I know.
Keep going for the video.
