Tips & Maps
SL [Slice]
A ball that slides and extends horizontally after landing, bouncing low and making it difficult to hit. It is created by hitting the ball with backspin.
FL [Flat]
A straightforward ball that flies straight with no spin. It is produced by hitting the ball at a right angle with the racket face.
TS [Topspin]
A ball that bounces significantly high after landing, making it difficult to return. It is created by putting topspin on the ball.
SM [Smash]
A shot where the ball is smashed from above the head into the opponent's court, resulting in a very fast and sharply bouncing ball with considerable power.
VO [Volley]
A shot where the ball is hit back without letting it bounce, typically played near the net. It can result in exchanges of volleys.
LB [Lob]
A shot that hits the ball high in an arc to aim for the opponent's baseline. It is easy to return with a smash, so players should be careful when hitting it.
TL [Topspin Lob]
Similar to a lob but with a steeper angle of descent and a high bounce property. If executed successfully, it serves as a very effective offensive technique.
JP [Jumping]
An automatic action where the character jumps to hit back a ball that cannot be reached by swinging the racket normally. All such jumps are designated as JP.
