|
| POINT
|
At self
|
You spin the paddle in your hand with agility and immediately flick your wrist to launch the attached green ball into the air. Unfortunately, your paddle spin only made it halfway around in your hand causing you to launch the ball straight at your face! You attempt to tug it back, but it still manages to strike you square between the eyes! Ouch! That smarts!
|
XXX spins the paddle in her hand with agility while simultaneously flicking her wrist. Unfortunately, the green ball and string of her pale beech paddle were not facing away from her at the time and the small projectile strikes her right between the eyes before she can deflect it away.
|
| At target
|
In a dramatic display, you wave your paddle in Aleid's face and watch as the attached ball hurtles towards her. Lucky for her that you know how long that string is and, with a deft flick of your wrist, you pull it back just in time to catch the green ball on its return trip to your paddle.

| TURN
|
|
You flip your pale beech paddle into the air but wait for a touch too long to reach out and catch it. It clatters to the ground, rather loudly, and quickly retrieve it.

| TWIST

|
Clapping both hands around the handle of your pale beech paddle, you quickly begin to rub them together and watch as the green ball is whipped around by its string. It bounces off the flat surface with a drum-like staccato until you stop twisting it about.

You balance the green ball attached to your pale beech paddle on its smooth, flat surface for a brief moment before gently flicking it upward. The ball launches into the air but is tugged back to the surface by the securing string.
