Back in the 80s my friend and I were pretty unbeatable. He played front and had a 360 push shot that nobody could block. I played back and could do a slice and a couple bank shots. If I kicked Joe's foot I would pass it to his 3 bar and he caught it most of the time.
I did the same passes to the 3-guy from the back, as soon as I had a problem making a shot. :) I only played one pro tournament, (and was too nervous to move well), but I bet our small town best in 80's Manistee Michigan, (me and Dan Libby), would have had good matches with you guys. I could block his push shot, 50% of the time. I had later played some top pros, and found my weak point is the 5-man pass. We taught ourselves in that little town, and we had tricky shots that worked, (and super fun), that nobody uses today. When you make a goalie move out of a slow balls way, it's just the best feeling, but not for the goalie. :)
Too many rules. For example, an aerial shot from a goalie can be blocked easily, and should be a choice, (although I don't think a worth while one in a talented tournament), and I have never experienced a 5-man pass from a dead stop as easier than a rolling pass. I don't like the newer serve rule where the holes are used to serve the ball. That takes talent too. Basically, I don't like any socialist rules that really don't have anything to do with reality and just seem to exist as an exercise of power, not objective play.
I used to be undefeated, but my sister finally got me, and now I have come to learn from the master. edit: I can see that I have no technique. Natural skill doesn't make up for practice. I also have to get a real table, since I made mine and it only has 3 sticks per side, and the floor isn't perfectly flat. My balls also are really bouncy and are trash.
Thanks for the explanation, very helpful. I would like to learn more from a champ. How do we improve our speed and react fast to catch or block the ball? Because I think I am still slow and not able to catch the ball.
Hello Fuad, I'm glad you liked the video! There are different aproaches in increasing spead. In general, just try to "think fast", give it all you have and be tense. For reacting you need to be good in anticipating, so that you can react before you can see anything. You can akso try to look at different points, such as ball, man-position on the ball, hand, arm and shoulder.
started yesterday been practicing for two days now yesterday i was really doin good and learned some nice tricks but when i woke up my hands were kinda sore and i was pretty bad but i love this game and will never stop practice ing hopefully i can go pro one day just takes hours of practice
@@bogey_man787 Yep still following my dream just practicing i recently had enough to get a table so i did about 2 months ago honestly getting rlly good might post some vids on my channel on it
Thank you a lot for this but how do we defend against those massive attack players who just keep on attacking the ball not letting the ball into your hands
Hey! Sorry for the late answer, but I'll try to help you with your problem. There are some things, you can react to, if you play against strong players more often and you are getting used to their actions and decisions. But more importantly, you should try to understand the idea of anticipating actions, instead of reacting to them. You can not wait and watch whats going to happen, because professionals will be faster than you, you need to know whats happening next and what can happen at what time. Hope that helps a little!
In your professional opinion of different tables, what do you see as the "pro's and cons" between the Tornado table, (3 guys on the back bar with no corner ramps), and traditional tables, (One man on the back bar with ramps in the corners.)? Personally, I think the Tornado 3-guy set up allows more play options in passing and shooting, (and also has a wider goal hole, or used to.). What say you?
"Some claim that mankind is evil. Even though they know good people personally, they think the good people are the mistake. But mankind is good, and it is the evil people who are the mistake." (Ayn Rand, "Philosophy, who needs it?")
like the info, good info, I have never played on the carromco trable, but why are the men on backwards, every table i have seen the men face the direction that they will hit the ball, those men are facing their own goal??
Thank you, it was great watching you all ❣️ I learned some things on passing with the 5 rod. I'm a goalie, and wanting to play front. Been practiceing, and loving it ‼️
I don't like the rule change about not using the serve holes. We had technique using those serve holes, and you could screw it up and give the other guy the ball. The rule took an element of skill out of the game, and I am never for that type of rule.
I noticed some balls are easy to grab and control from side to side. Others are slippery and harder to grab n control. What’s the secret to this? Do you need a special table or special balls or what?
Could you recommend me the cheapest table to start the game? I'am a complete amateur and I am curious if I am able to buy something in the range of 250 euros.
If you're happy to go a little smaller and lighter on the table (122x61 cm instead of 142x75 cm and 18.5 kg instead of 61 kg), you can get one for 250 euros, for example the Evolution-XM: www.sportaddicts.eu/kickertisch-evolution-xm-mit-app-funktion-carromco.html). But if you want to have the same size and detailed figures to do professional shots like on this Stadium-XT, you're looking at minimum of 450 euros (e.g. Evolution-XT). Should the Evolution-XM be of interest to you, just send us an email to service@3esports.com. We might give out a discount voucher on that one currently!
this man said you cannot score goals from the bar with the 5 players but no offense my power is too much on the left hand so pretty much every time i shot the ball would go in and out of the net lmfao
We played on some tables in the 80's where if you hit a shot hard enough, the ball would go in the goal, and pop out of the other goal at the other end of the table.
