Beyond basic charging, perfect shot timing is indicated by a bright flash around your character. This results in a faster, more powerful shot that is harder to return. Practice hitting the ball at the absolute last moment for these perfect shots. Conversely, hitting the ball too early or too late results in a weaker, less accurate shot. Mastering this timing is essential for consistently winning rallies and putting pressure on your opponent. It's a subtle but impactful mechanic.
