An example before you play
An early hit is rejected; wait while positioning the paddle. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.
Where a round can go wrong
The ball-flight model is timing-based, not full tournament physics. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
