How to Play Professional Pan Pong

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Lay both Pans flat face-up on the table

   The only alternative to flipping the pan to cover the ball is a move known as the "Shovel".
   
   This move is executed by simply pushing your pan into the ball which results in the ball flying into the lap of the other player.
   
   By shoveling it fast enough, the move effectively shoots the ball out from underneath the opposing player's pan which is coming down to cover the ball.
   
   This move is only effective when the situation appears undesirable, due to the fact that per the rules the face-off must simply be replayed.
