I haven't looked at the rest of your code, but the lines you have here are
going to send the ball back in exactly the direction it came from -- a 180
degree reversal. When a ball hits a paddle at an angle other than head on,
only ONE of the velocities is reversed. When you hit a horizontal paddle,
only the Y velocity is negated. The ball continues in the same X
direction:
\ O
\ /

========
See? The X velocity continues unchanged until it hits a vertical wall.
