How to play

• Move: drag the MOVE pad at the bottom left. Drag up to step in to the kitchen line.
• Hit: use the HIT pad at the bottom right. Tap for a soft shot, swipe up to hit, swipe long and fast for a drive, curve your swipe for topspin or slice, and swipe down for a lob. Tap or swipe up to serve.
• Levels: CLUB (challenging rallies, readable tells), PRO (every shot is yours, so time it well) and ELITE (tight timing, disguised CPU).
• Options: tap OPTIONS at the top right to switch to Singles, turn on shot buttons, advanced dinking or pro shots, or control both players. Tap DONE to close it.

Game modes

• Quick Play: one match against the CPU, game to 11 or 5. Always win by 2.
• Training: ball-machine drills (Dink Zones, Spin Curves, Drives, Lobs, Serves and Returns), each scored out of 10. Pick a drill and tap START PRACTICE. An animated finger shows the swipe for each drill. Your best score is saved, and Training never changes your Dink Rating.
• Road to 5.0: a career from Park to Vegas. Climb five tiers (Park, Club, Regional, Vegas Finals and Pro Tour) and beat each tier's opponents and its boss to raise your Dink Rating. Tap START CAREER or PLAY NEXT MATCH, or VIEW MAP to see every tier. You can reset your progress in OPTIONS.

Common fixes

• No sound: check your silent switch and volume, and the sound toggle in the top bar.
• Progress reset: settings, Training bests and career progress are stored only on your device, so deleting the app clears them.
