I dislike math. Can someone help me out with pong physics?

Sorry for double post but I have another question...

would this work for colision?

	//P1 colision
       /* If ball.x == paddle1.x
           and
           if ball.y is lessthan Paddle1y+28(height of paddle) and is biggerthan paddley
      */

	if(x+6 == p1x && y < p1y+28 && y > p1y){
		if(dir == 1){
			dir = 2;
		} else {
			dir = 1;
		}
