This time your strategy is to wait for it to come and then at the last minute hit it on top by moving down. When the ball comes you raise it just a little and then move the paddle down knocking it to the bottom of the screen and making it go in such a zig-zag pattern that your opponent couldn't reach it in time. \n\nNow the score is 6-4 and your opponent isn't happy. He stares you down but only for a moment getting ready for the next ball.\n\nYour paddle is in the upper middle of the screen. The ball starts coming your way and seems to be going in a slight upward direction.\n\nDo you want to move [[up|6-5 up lose]], [[down|7-4 down win]], [[stay|6-5 stay lose]]?
