What are incomplete strikes?

Incomplete strikes are when you try to hit something but don’t finish the job, like only tapping it instead of really knocking it over.

Imagine you're playing a game with your friend where you both throw balls at a stack of blocks. A complete strike is when you throw the ball hard enough that all the blocks fall down, boom, they’re gone! But an incomplete strike is like just gently poking one block so it wobbles but doesn’t fall, kind of like giving it a sleepy hug instead of knocking it out.

Sometimes, you're not ready yet. Maybe your swing was too slow or your throw wasn't strong enough. Like when you try to push a big shopping cart but only move it a little, the incomplete strike is just that tiny push.

Other times, you’re so excited about hitting something that you stop halfway, like when you're about to jump really high, but you land before you reach the top, that’s also an incomplete strike!

So next time you see someone tapping a block or only moving the cart a bit, remember: they're having an incomplete strike! Incomplete strikes are when you try to hit something but don’t finish the job, like only tapping it instead of really knocking it over.
