SET UP
The LASER TENNIS games requires simple assembly before playing:
1. Attach trestles to the mechanism box ( see illustration 1 )
2.
Place the tennis court on the table or floor.
3.
Place the assembled unit at the center of the tennis court ( see illustration 2 )
4.
Align the center of the tennis court with the center dots on the inside of the trestles
and align the slots on the tennis court with the raised line on the feet of the trestles.
USING THE RACKETS
HELPFUL TIP: before playing it is recommended players practice using
the rackets to get a feel how to properly hit the ball.
1. Each racket has a special reflective surface
on it that is used to "HIT" the ball.
2. To "HIT" the ball, swing the racket to reflect the light to the other side
of the court.
Hold the racket so that it is perpendicular to the tennis court and parallel
to the mechanism box ( see illustrations below )
When the light appears on your side of the tennis court, swing the racket
to "HIT" the light back toward your opponent. It is more effective to "HIT"
the light ball with a forward pushing movement rather than a full swing.
3. To serve the ball simply use the same motion as described above.
