The blue dotted squash ball

Once a week I go squashing with a friend of mine. There are different types of squash balls. Their properties are indicated by a colored dot. We're used to play with a "Super Slow" yellow dotted one. But this time we ran out of our favorite type, so we had to help ourselves with a "Fast" blue dotted ball.

The blue dotted ball turned the weekly routine into a totally different game. It bounced in all directions, points and sets were lost. Frustration filled the squash court. Until ...until I realized that different situations need a different approach, even when it's caused by a small colored dot.
From that moment in time, the game turned. Ok, it didn't turn into the weekly routine game, but I got the ball more or less under control ... and ... won the game.

The game is yours, focus on the ball.
