How to Become a Better PONG Player

Just like any skill game, your PONG skills will improve
with practice! If you don't do well the first time, don't
worry, it's normal...That's all part of the fun!
Here are some basic tips that may be helpful:
Tip#1:
GUARD THE MIDDLE
Keep the paddle in the middle so there's less distance to cover on either side.
Tip #2:
PUT A SPIN ON THE BALL
Hit the ball off the edge of the paddle so the ball ricochets off the side of the playfield, your opponent will have a
tougher time trying to catch it.
Tip #3:
DON'T OVER-SPIN THE JOG
It's easier to try and maintain control over the jog by turning it rather than letting it spin uncontrollably!
