Oh wow, I like that. I do something similar from bounce inside wall out to outside 2man. And I shoot a far man circle it twice moving pull shot that works alot, the first loop makes defenders think it was shot and I circle around and grab it for an adjusted hole shot. But this one is really damm smooth you shoot. I would have probably been caught being a spectator too and look exactly like those black goalie men were when the ball went by hye 😆 The first time anyway 😉
I’ve made alot of these over the years because I do alot of passing. When they see movement that doesn’t look like a traditional pullshot they assume it’s a pass.
@@woofoosfoosball Yeah, that's the mental game part of Foosball that one must also be skilled at like using the force. Make them think they know what you're doing and not do it. Psychologically warfare is a key part of the game tactics as well as execution abilities. I throw some pretty fast passes to my buddy that look like shots, and if he hasn't caught the ball, some have scored anyway. But my favorite ones are shots that you know everybody has become a spectator and didn't know what just happened and how to react to it. Love playing this game to see what can be done when your tuned into the moments. Still love your execution on this one, just beautiful.
Having played a lot of foos back in school /uni in the late 80s-90s ,i remember one guy who had a tremendous slingshot and that set up so many opportunities for his pullkick. He didnt have the fastest pullkick but was so tough to defend against since he could could shoot middle,long with the pullkick and the near gap with the slingshot.
It’s been almost 20 years since I played in a state tournament. Lol You can’t look me up on most foosball grounds like Bama Foosball or Sick Foosball videos.
Yes you should work on both. There’s times you need both passes. Some tables are better for brushing and some are better for stick passing. Another reason is when you have a defender who can block one pass better than others. You don’t want to be limited to one do or die passing series.
I’m not great at them but I try. Lol It’s hard for me too transition because I have 80% of my weight on my back leg. I’d rather be able too catch than shoot faster on quick shots
There are 3 main reasons why and all have to do with ball placement. I’ve talked about them on other videos but I’ll do a quick summary video that will help save you time.
Man that’s not good at foosball that’s next level. Lol. Naw really though the best combos come off the second man to the middle man. You can go straight into a bumpkick or slingshot.
Cool, now I know it's name. Been doing it for decades, but didn't know what to call it and we never gave it a name either as me and my brother are the only ones that shoot it, occasionally. Thanks for that.
@@woofoosfoosball oh I'm sure they do too. But I like what you call it, so I'm making it officially the name here in Idaho Falls too. We used to call the "T" shot a Chinese shot until I went to Vegas HOF and learned it is called a Texas-T or Tennessee-T shot, depending on direction shooting it seems lol. Thanks buddy.
😲 sweet! It looks like mine but mirrored! But missing 2 twirls before launch. That's a suggestion i would give beginning players, learn a shot And the opposite or mirrored version too. It quickly makes you build up tools and tunes up your reaction skills for anything going wrong while practicing any shots. I watch many beginners and casual players struggle to keep the ball if miss fire or miss hit happens. Foosball is all about acquiring experiences of cause & effect reaction tuning.
That's how i like to send a pass to a forward, now i have to find a forward that is always ready, and can catch it lol I do that with the goalie bar too and very quickly after the ball has entered the goalie area before defenders are ready for anything to happen.
Anytime I’m playing goalie they know to leave the 3Row on the wall and never take it off. 90% of players can’t catch a lane so with that one pass I can at least do two things. Either complete the wall or lock the other guys 5 on the wall. That means all I have to do is beat his 3 row to clear the ball. As a goalie all I’m trying to do is give my forwards a chance by clearing the ball. If I score that’s just a add plus
@@woofoosfoosball Exactly. My problem where I live and play mostly is that only a couple of players are skilled enough to try and mainly are on other side of the table to keep things even. The rest know I can score from the nets and expect me to lol Trying to train em, but it's a long road when it's mostly fun play for them. No desires to do tournaments. I have a bucket list item to make Expert this year. Vegas HOF is my next chance, need 200 points
That's nasty and fast. Nice Shot man. I can do a near wall like that, still working on the far wall. Hate it that everything seems to be easier more in one direction than the other too.
There’s a lot of people that have trouble with the top wall. The main reason is their feet position. If you’re open it’s going to be harder for you to be consistent with stuff on the opposite side of the table. I’m more square to the table and sometimes even closed off on my front side depending on the day.
@@woofoosfoosball Ok, that makes sense, body position has an affect on every shot and I know I position myself before I do a shot I'm good at in order for it to work right. I guess I hadn't tried different positions while trying that shot to find what was more comfortable. Thanks for that. Now I have to wait until next Tuesday for our #TGiFoosday session to experiment though.
I actually use that outside far man on goalies that are lazy about following the ball by either kicking the ball to the man and slicing it behind them or kicking it to the wall and doing a palm slap slice after it bounces off the wall, but not as fast as yours. I have developed multiple shots from each 3 bar men and rarely shoot the same shot twice in a row, unless need the point and the goalie hasn't figured out how to block it yet. I guess I like to probe a goalie and keep them from anticipating what I'm going to shoot. Love getting mental surprises working in a game lol.
Remember when you’re using the band it’s more for finding out where you’re lacking in your mechanics. Keep the man as close to the ball as you can at all times throughout your stroke. If you have a big hole in your swing the band will let you know.
I would imagine much of this is determined by the size of the person playing. Specifically the size of their hands. Someone with small hands will usually have to rotate farther up the wrist.
Anyone can shoot this way. The distance between the top of your wrist and your palms can be adjusted with work. Someone with smaller hands will catch the rod with more fingers other than someone like me that has to cup his had more on the catch. The best way to measure that is to see where your man is finishing after striking the ball.
@@woofoosfoosball Yes, it can be adjusted with work. You obviously know that. I started shooting the snake shot back in 1995. So I know that. But the keywords there are "with work". Players will start with what feels natural. But eventually they will adjust their form to what works better. Or at least some will.
@jeremybr2020 Wrist flexion after contact and feet positioning have a lot to do with your power also. But that’s up to the player to determine what feels best for them.
It’s really not that hard. I’ve seen them made all different kinds of ways. Mine is probably the most expensive way to build one though. If you have a wood router that’ll cut the front of the 2x4. That’s probably the easiest way to glue the balls in.
Thanks for the power point advice on this video, and the bounce pass video. Have you done a video about the different PowerPoints and how to execute them?
I haven’t put them all in one video but I do talk about some throughout my videos. A lot of players are hands on learners so until they feel it they really won’t get it. I’ve looked through my video analytics and anything over 60sec is really pointless. It would take to long for me to explain all of them in one video in under a minute.
