GLASS OPEN

Broadcast camera padel. Press the shot button early, then let the swing fire when the ball arrives.

Press early: the shot charges for 0.8 s and fires at the best moment in reach. Pressing at the last instant is rushed. Press another shot button while one is queued to change your mind (the charge is kept). Serve with any shot button. Late and out of position, your player improvises (frame hits, dives, between the legs, even the foot). Two teammates swinging at the same ball clash rackets. The trail colour shows the spin: slice, topspin, flat or lob. Stick up moves up the screen for every player. With keyboard + mouse, point at the court to aim.

Your aim reticle stays dim until the ball is yours to play. Then a timing ring appears at the contact point and closes on the ball: white circle = groundstroke, cyan with ticks = volley, gold diamond = overhead, lilac hexagon = off the glass. The tag beside it shows what each button would play right now.
