PangYa/Special Shots

Power Spin
By applying spin to the ball, a player can 'Power spin' their ball. A back spin power spin will make the ball stop and roll backwards when it lands (after the ball stops bouncing and starts rolling), removing the extra roll of a shot. This is useful when players do not want their ball to stray too far from where the ball lands. A front spin power spin will spin the ball forward for an extra few yards after the ball initially comes to a stop. Front spin-power spin is useful to get a little extra distance.

To do a Power Spin shot, the ball must be spun in the right direction (back spin for back power spin, and front spin for front power spin). Players must then have at least 80% or more power on the meter and as the slider moves back after the 50% mark. Hold down up or down key (up for front spin, down for back spin) and hit a PangYa. The distance spun by the power spin is determined by the amount of spin placed on the ball prior to the shot.

Power Curve
By applying curve to the ball, a player can 'Power Curve' their ball. A power curve shot will make the ball travel in a C shaped trajectory. Power Curve is extremely useful when players' maximum curve is still not capable of clearing an obstacle in front of them.

To do a Power Curve, the ball must be curved to the right direction (left curve for left power curve, and right curve for right power curve). Players must then have at least 80% or more power on the power meter and as the slider moves back over the 50% mark. Hold down left or right key (left for left power curve, right for right power curve) and hit a Pangya. The degree of curve is always at the maximum curve regardless of amount of curve applied.

A player using a Curve Mastery potion will perform shots like the Power Curve even without hitting a Power Curve shot.

Power Shots
Each time a player hits a shot, their power gauge will begin filling. The more Pangya shots a player hits, the faster the power gauge fills. Players can make a power shot when the gauge is filled up with 1 red bar (up to 3 power shots can be stored). A power shot increases the maximum distance of every club by 10 yards(With exception for putter, which can't be used with a power shot). This advantage comes at the price of accuracy as the pink area sandwiching the white pangya bar is reduced by half.

Power Shots are prerequisite to many other special shots.

Super Pangya
Super Pangya is no different from Pangya except that it adds a double multiplier to the potential pang gain. Pang earned from nice shots are doubled if a Super Pangya was hit.

To do a Super Pangya shot, players must first activate a power shot. Players must then have the power meter at maximum distance(When the word 'max' shows out on the right hand top of the meter) and hit a Pangya. Other special shots will receive the Super Pangya multiplier if they're done with powershot and maximum power.

Tomahawk
Harnessing the magic of a power shot, players can ignite a ball and send it flying like a tomahawk missile. The ball then lands without rolling, making it exceptionally useful when extremely accurate shots are needed. Tomahawk shots are also less affected by wind, making shots more predictable. It goes through small obstacles such as leaves of a tree.

To perform a tomahawk shot, players must first activate a power shot. Then, after setting the shot's power to at least 80%, players must tap the up arrow key followed by the down arrow key. The arrow keys must be tapped after the downswing of the shot passes the 50% mark. Prior to Season 4, players also had to hit a PangYa, but this requirement was removed for the Tomahawk, Cobra, and Spike shots in Season 4.

Cobra
Cobra shots resemble a striking cobra: they first travel low, skimming across the ground before sharply arcing up near the end of the shot. This lower trajectory reduces the effects of wind and is good for avoiding overhead obstacles.

To perform a cobra shot, players must first activate a power shot. Then, after setting the shot's power to at least 80%, players must tap the right arrow key followed by the up arrow key. The arrow keys must be tapped after the downswing of the shot passes the 50% mark. Prior to Season 4, players also had to hit PangYa, but this requirement was removed for the Tomahawk, Cobra, and Spike shots in Season 4.

Unlike most other special shots, the cobra shot can only be accomplished with woods.

Spike
The Spike shot, works like a reversed cobra and flies up high in the air and then approaches diagonally, making it possible to avoid low obstacles. The arrow combination for it is right down. It can be combined with power spins and power curves like every other shot. A power spike is also possible with two power bars. This shot was first introduced in PangYa Season 3 Revolution in Korea, and currently they are the only a few severs like KR, A18 and JP have these shots.

Combo Shots
More experienced players can combine 2 special shot into one. The following are the possible combinations for combo shots:
 * Tomahawk + Front Power Spin
 * Tomahawk + Back Power Spin
 * Tomahawk + Left Power Curve
 * Tomahawk + Right Power Curve
 * Cobra + Front Power Spin
 * Cobra + Back Power Spin
 * Cobra + Left Power Curve
 * Cobra + Right Power Curve

Super Pangya will take effect as well if the players initiated these combo shots with maximum power.

In Season 3 with the introduction of the Spike, even more combinations are possible:


 * Spike + Front Power Spin
 * Spike + Back Power Spin
 * Spike + Left Power Curve
 * Spike + Right Power Curve
