Start with training
Choose the positioning and control drill and keep visual aids on. The ball machine lets you repeat rallies without managing an opponent. Slow speed helps you watch the ball.
Use only the power you need
A short press is enough for a simple shot. Holding increases power; releasing stores it. Keep adjusting your position and target afterwards. Automatic contact does not replace good positioning.
Keep the ball in front
Reach the trajectory early, then slow down to regain your footing. A ball behind your body is harder to return with power and accuracy. Sprint to reach distant balls, but remember that it uses stamina.
Move on to your first match
Choose Discovery difficulty in free play. At serve, aim inside the highlighted diagonal service box with room for error. You have two attempts. The receiver waits for the first bounce.
Learn one shot at a time
Try high-ball and glass-rebound drills next. Detailed controls and controller settings remain available in the game’s help. Revisit them between drills.
Your questions
Why does the ball miss my target circle?
The circle shows your intention. Fatigue, footwork, contact and power influence accuracy.
Should I always use maximum power?
No. Light power helps build a rally; heavier charging increases speed and dispersion.
