Swing

let go at the right moment. that’s the whole game.

orbit a peg, release on the tangent, catch the next

A ball released mid-orbit flies off in a straight line, tangent to the circle at the exact instant of release — not toward the peg, not away from it, but along the direction it was already moving. Catching the next peg comes down entirely to timing that release, the same geometry behind a slingshot around a planet or a trapeze artist letting go at the top of a swing.

Concepts: orbits, momentum.
