Hold to power up, release to swing. Let go when the meter's marker hits green for a PERFECT. Early pulls it cross-court and long; late pushes it wide and low. Smash: jump under a high ball, then Hit while you're in the air.

Real pickleball rules

Serve underhand, diagonally into the opposite box, past the kitchen line.
Two-bounce rule. The serve and the return must each bounce before anyone volleys.
The kitchen (7 ft from the net): no volleys while standing in it, and no stepping in from a volley's momentum.
Side-out scoring. Only the serving side scores. Games to 11, win by 2. Faults: out, net, short or wrong-box serve, double bounce.
Doubles. Score is called serving – receiving – server #. The game opens at 0–0–2. Each partner serves until they lose a rally, then it's a side out. Partners switch sides after scoring on serve.
ATP & Erne. A ball may go around the net post at any height. The kitchen ends at the sideline, so volleying from just outside it is legal.

Camera. Pick Side view or Behind view (Top Spin style) on the player select, in Settings, or from the pause menu. Controls follow the screen: in Behind view, up runs toward the net.
