Control the ball and you control the game

Sorry but no. I’d just order another rod in that case.

You could try flaring out the pin by driving a punch down the middle.

freezer tape.

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.

Thanks

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.

Thanks

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.

@@woofoosfoosball thanks

Just uploaded a video with full hands and shooting both sides

It’s just like a slingshot but with one man. Nothing too it really

No problem. Hope it helps

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

How do you get so much speed on your passes.

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.

Those are transition shots and require your shooting stance to be the same or as close to your catching Stance as possible.

I appreciate your advice @woofoosball

@@woofoosfoosball that’s something I will keep in mind. Every day I practice for 30 minutes and watch y’all videos. It’s something that inspires me.

That’s just what I call it. I’m sure others have different names but that name comes to mind when I hit it 😆

@@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.

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

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.

My top wall triple Deak is my favorite shot next to my backflip aerial shots

Wtf man! That's pretty sexy, I'll have to learn it 😁

Haven’t been on the table much this year. Focused more on my weight training. It’s hard to feel the ball when you’re lifting every day.

@woofoosfoosball understandable, I enjoy the gym but It has to be a Day or time where barley anyone is around

Exactly why I workout at home 👍. Cant stand a crowded gym.

You can get them on eBay or Amazon. I like the ones that have the steel rings on the ends.

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.

@@woofoosfoosball thank you very much. :)

Working this weekend but we’ll have to get together soon

Tommy had one of the fastest pullshots back in the 90s. 💪

He is my good friend

iPhone 13 Pro. All I do is put my phone on tripod and do the best I can. Lol

Same here.

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.

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.
