How to play
Tap it to slam it down and watch it bounce high.
Notes
The felt slows the ball in the air and helps the racket's strings grip it for spin. Bright yellow balls came in during the 1970s, because they are easier to see on television.
Tap it and it is slammed onto the floor: it squashes hard, shoots up high with topspin, the fuzz fluffing out at each hit, and bounces a little lower each time. Pick the color of the felt in the Splash tab.
