Try making a variable called speed, and use a script like this:
[blocks]<when green flag clicked>
<set{ speed }to( 10
<forever>
<move( <{ speed }> )steps>
[/blocks]
Then make a script for when the ball hits the paddle:
[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
<forever if><touching[ PaddleSprite
<set{ speed }to( 5
[/blocks]
That last script would slow down the ball. If you would like it to speed the ball up, have it set the speed variable to something like 15.
Hope that helps,
