'Start' is not correct as you have more than one ball, but yes, this would be
an option. A problem is that the mouse moves the paddle, though.
So, basically, you need to click whereever the paddle is.

This means you just need to live with users clicking outside of the
window or to, as an option, steal mouse focus completely. At the least,
pressing ESC or clicking severeal times should release the mouse again,
though. Unless you need the clicks to shoot with the paddle as some
breakout clones do.
