+Michael Tollefson They are even cooler when the goalie moves. I've hit all those shots against people defending. The point is to show what's possible. A dunk contest in basket is still fun to watch even if there is no defender. It's nicer to see somebody getting dunked on as well.
Impressive! We play on a Tornado at work, and it certainly makes Foos more enjoyable. But for those that say this is easy because of the table, or muscle memory, etc might as well be saying that David Ortiz could bat so well because he used an expensive bat. Being able to dribble, catch passes (off the bounce of the wall no less) and thread the needle on a shot takes a ton of practice and skill. Well done, and thanks for sharing - gives me some ideas for what to practice!
Nice shots. Looks like a good table too. I am sure we all have stories. Forty years ago, or thereabouts, the playing surface was glass and very fast. I was only fair, and my friend was an excellent goalie. He scored pretty often, from the goalie position. We could hold the table, at the bowling ally, for a couple of hours, until an old high school buddy, and his friends came in, usually around 10:00 or 11:00pm. If my buddy, who came in, was a little drunk, he would use some of these trick shots, and leave me scratching my head. If he was sober, he mainly used a straight pull shot, and didn't play around. I have not seen anyone even close to as fast and accurate as he was, with that simple pull shot. Nobody could stop him from scoring, I would guess, 80 to 90% of the time. Needless to say, they kept the table until they decided to leave. In a way, I wanted to see him come in, because I could learn something, and also enjoy watching him play. In another way, I hated to see him come in, because we knew we would lose the table, whether we thought positively and remained confident, or not.
That's only a small portion of what can be done, this video is 5years old, accomplished every shot imaginable with incredible speed and all power shots in 2003.few warm up games I'll give you a world class game
By the time you finally manage to do for example a slingshot at the speed required to score at tournaments you could have learned both relevant brush passes in the 5 bar, pin controll in the 3 bar and probably both corner jet variants at a decent speed. Its nice to know this shots to scare opponents and to force them to be focussed during every second but statistically you'll be more successfull mastering a jet/pinshot/pullshot system.
Used to use a lot of those combos. Set up the traditional pull, have top man kick it down instead of middle, then bottom man kick it back up to a pushkick (to middle man)at top goal. Also did a wall bounce while on the 5 row that went backwards off rear wall and went all the way forward to three bar. Have ball on 3 man of 5 row with a downward movement toward the wall. Then sweep and kick it backwards thru your defenders 3 row and back.
Also the combo at the 1:05 mark....have the middle stop the ball at the bottom of the dots and hammer it forward with the bottom man. The upward movement lures the defender up and the bottom man on the 3 row punishes them for it.
great stuff, zeke. Love all your vids, especially your matches - you can beat anybody. i'm a newb with a warrior table i'd like to use as training wheels for a tornado. the balls are too light, i've tried tornado pink and red balls. which (pink or red) would you recommend one train on? which are more prevalent in bars etc these days?
Wow, My whole Life Has Changed Since Seeing This Video ~ Sold My House, Divorced My Wife... To Get Closer To Foosball & It's Trickyness... Really Dough "Trick Shots" That's A Stretch, A Real Stretch... Dorks 'R' Us Don't Even Sell Dem Dare Table Thingies...
Yes...nobody has won any kind of major event shooting angle shots...either a pull shot or a snakeshot is the norm...europins have won as well...trickshots of some sort are easy for the top players to block...playing for 30 years and I really can't recall any other shots that have won ...I could be mistaken.
trickshots have a higher percentage to go wrong and lose an important ball then any of the 3 common shooting systems(pullshot/jet/pinshot) also it takes relatively long to learn those at the required speed. it is still nice to have them in your repertoire for surprising your opponent and thus forcing his full attention at every given second of ball possession on the 3 bar. Since foosball is alot about concentration and focuss this can be very beneficial AFTER you have mastered one of the standard systems and your 5 bar is on point.
Yes for sure! I've had that on my list ever since i made made the 2-5 Collignon style series tutorial. I'm making more time to do some more tutorials. Thanks for the suggestion, and I'll post that video sometime soon.
@@kratos7893 I was saying he is a pro and that yes I bet he can shoot it on someone...I know Zeke and I've seen him shoot on plenty of people...that's all...just figured I'd say that he has that ability on the table... being he's a pro
not unreal at all, simple muscle memory and this table brand also helps a lot, players are totaly flat from sides and its very easy to control ball between 3 attackers and wall. Most people watching this know only shity pub foos brands
Well yeah, why the hell would you want to purposely play on a shitty bar table to show how good you are? This is his home table that he practices for tournaments on.
