Work through the instructions

- Move the lower paddle under the ball.
- Hit after the bounce near your baseline.

Making selections and moves
Pointer/paddle buttons; Hit / return; Space serves or hits. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Learn from a sample situation
An early hit is rejected; wait while positioning the paddle. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.
Keep this in mind
The ball-flight model is timing-based, not full tournament physics. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
