I use an Extreme Works polishing cloth with Wobbly Hobby polish.

Hi Mark, for every attacking flick, the defender can have a block, however the attacker does not have to wait for the block and can play at the speed they want to. At the end the defender could not make a block without losing concentration on the Goalkeeper and potential shot so gave up his blocks.

I use Extreme Works, which have a good touch. Others I've tried are the CC2 standard Astros. But there are a lot of others. Sometimes a soft touch will mean it's harder to get more powerful shots so there is definitely a middle ground

@ Lovely mate….

No problem, I hope the drills have been helping you out! I've got a whole playlist on shooting here: ua-cam.com/play/PL4TMWQWokYuIc-27LVkCR4hXvBgQI6F17.html If there's anything not on there that you need help with then let me know and I'll sort out a video on it Thanks for watching!

@SubbuteowithSam not sure how I missed them lol! Thanks I will check them out.

Hey Luca, thank you for the comment! Looking at an opponents finger before a shot is definitely something worth doing and I may explore it in a future video as it's something more experienced players do. I myself have only just starting focusing on doing that when playing and there is definitely a learning curve to it. I'm unsure on whether you can detect a chip but you can definitely see direction of travel, which then helps with your positioning with the keeper.

No problem at all, hope it helps!

Thank you for the kind words! I'll definitely look at some beginner guide videos! Feel free to send ideas over and I can add them to my list!

Hey Ian, Thank you for your kind words! I love that you've just discovered the game, there is a great Subbuteo community in Canada and America. Alway happy to take on suggestions for videos, so if there's anything specific you want once you're all set-up then drop me a message or comment and I can look into it!

Thanks Paul!

Thanks Gerry!

Thank you, glad you're enjoying them! What I found out recording this was that Longshots were a bit of a lottery. If your player is wobbling in the lead up to the shot then you're unlikely to make a good connection even if you think you've done a clean flick. I found if the base slid without much wobble then you normally got a good dink on the ball. So I now set myself for a clean flick which means having your hand as stable as possible. This normally makes the base slide with better stability giving you a good chance of having a dink on the ball. Still no guarantee though! Hope that helps and makes sense? Cheers, Sam

Thank you Stew! Much appreciated ❤️

Yes! There should be a live stream all day on both days. Follow the ESA on Facebook for updates and links

Thank you Kevin!

Thanks Scott!

Hi Kevin! Glad you're enjoying the videos, I currently use Extreme Works Universals, I originally got them over 10 years ago now so couldn't tell you the exact weight but I would say they are probably around the 0.3g range. I think weight is a personal preference and what suits one person may not suit another. For example I have another set of EW universals, however these don't have a weight in and I find that the touch and pushing the ball up the pitch is all good. There are some shooting situations that they don't perform great in as I can flick and not get a chip because I'm hitting the player as I would normally but the lack of weight means the player is going though the air and not sliding because of the power i'm putting in the flick. This is a technique issue and not a weight issue though. If i were to use these as my main base then I would need to re-adjust to then find the right balance of power to achieve what I wanted and get consistent results. So personally, If you're ever unsure on what weight to go I would find a weight that's comfortable and perhaps gives you a good chip and a decent enough touch. The rest is then practice to make that weight work for you.

@@SubbuteowithSam Thank's Sam, that's very good of you to reply. I play at Leicester so I'll ask Mark and Graham if I can borrow an EW Universal team or 2 for a game and also take my micro scales to weigh them. In my limited experience I've found a slightly heavier weight seems to work best for me and admire the height you get on your chip shots. It's interesting what you said about how the base/figure reacts when chipping and has got me thinking of how to do slow motion photography from the side (Graham will probably know). As I've said before, you're doing a great job with these videos and providing so much information in an easy to follow format. Cheers 👍

Hi Steve, no problem! The bases I currently use are Extreme Works Universal with around 0.3 weight and yes the ball is a top spin ball.

Hey Gary, this was recorded down in Stanway near Colchester. They have regular league meetings if you're nearby. If not then there are clubs all around the country. A full list can be found here: www.englishsubbuteoassociation.com/items-1

Heya, I don't use an app sadly, I edit in the score after the match when putting the video together.

@@SubbuteowithSam What edit?

@@manuelreguera5837 When I put the clips from the game together I add in the score manually. I put the match together in an app called UA-cam Create.

Thank you!

Think I'll start playing around with this. I mainly do it at the moment due to the accuracy being better when I generate them.

There's a big Subbuteo scene in Belgium. Have you looked on Facebook for clubs?

Thanks Scott! Definitely working on a Goalkeeping tutorial. I want to get some live gameplay samples first then I should be good to put something together!

Excellent, thank you for your tutorials, and thank you in advance for the ones still to come. Please keep up the superb work. Much appreciated. Top man Sam

Thank you!

Thanks Kevin!

Hey Kevin, I've got some shooting drills planned. Something that I focus on for shooting is the technique. For me and the bases I have, I've found that pushing down on my finger lightly and then flicking will give me a decent chip and I try to get my finger to follow through in a straight line, a bit like following through on a golf swing. I will put all this in the shooting video so it makes visual sense but hopefully that's something you can takeaway in the meantime.

@@SubbuteowithSam Thanks Sam. I've looked at various videos but there isn't a decent one that goes into the detail so I will look forward to watching yours. I've also noticed your hand/forefinger placement before you flick. That makes your hand look very stable, something I will also try. Cheers

I try to do each drill for 10 minutes at a time anymore than that and my concentration drops.
