Practice beyond the first move
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.

Put the rules into context
An early hit is rejected; wait while positioning the paddle. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Choose a deliberate next step.
Check this before moving on
The ball-flight model is timing-based, not full tournament physics. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
