Your short-term goal is to successfully return the ball every time it comes to your side of the screen. The long-term target is to win the match! You achieve victory by carefully angling your shots to create openings in your opponent's defense. Success comes from predicting the ball's trajectory and positioning your paddle with precision to make those winning shots.

💡 Pro Tips

🎪 Master the angles! Don't just hit the ball straight back; use the edges of your paddle to change the ball's direction and catch your opponent off guard.
⚡ Anticipate, don't just react. Watch your opponent's paddle movement to predict where they will send the ball next, allowing you to get into position early.
💰 Consistency is key. While powerful slams are tempting, simply keeping the ball in play often forces your opponent to make the first mistake.
🏆 Practice controlling the ball's speed. Sometimes a softer, well-placed shot can be more effective than a hard, predictable return. Vary your play style to stay unpredictable
