your serve position, and press the S, A or F button to toss the ball.

chosen speed, press the

F button to make a slice serve.

Ball Direction

ABOUT SHOT TYPE

1. A topspin shot (S button) is a regular shot with a forward spin (vertical

spin). It moves fast but its trajectory is high and it bounces high.

Shot Strength

You can hit the ball harder (or faster) if you anticipate the ball’s position and
get readyfor the shot – if you are not ready for the shot, you will not hit it hard.

Also the shot strength will change depending on the height of the ball when
you hit it (called shot point). If the ball has a low shot point it is difficult to
hit it hard, for example directly after a bounce. However, the higher the shot
point, the harder the shot becomes.

Smash Hit

Counter high trajectory balls with a smash! Wait for the ball to come down,
and then press the S/A button to hit a smash. You can use the Analog
Stick C/VZ/X to control the ball path in the same way as regular shots.

Drop Shots

You can play a drop shot that falls near the net; press the A button then
use the Analog Stick C/V to aim at an area near the net.

This is most effective when an opponent is covering the baseline.
