I have this in my locker thanks to loads of practice. The best tip is to just think about how you would actually create the spin you want. It's tough to explain but abstract thinking is what gave me the breakthrough with perfecting techniques and repetition locks them in. Now I'm working on the Rashford style topspin shot where the ball doesn't spin as much and is more similar to a knuckleball but still has the topspin. It's kind of like a cannonball effect where the ball is powered into the top corner with high velocity but has a parabolic trajectory aggressive enough to take it over the wall and also out of the keeper's reach.
Hi Catalan Soccer, I am trying to learn how to do topspin from a moving ball with the laces and I am in a strange situation. I am in a half and half place where I either get crazy knuckleballs, or poor height on topspin and am wondering if you can guess what is going on ?
Hi AJ! Thanks for the support. With the knuckleball type of shot you are hitting, you are hitting the ball dead centre. This can come from your follow through also coming out a little low/flat. On the lack of height, this comes from hitting the very top of the ball and not enough of the middle of the ball. So you are going from one extreme (centre of the ball) to the other extreme (very top of the ball). You are very close to getting it consistent, just takes a bit of time and repetition to get it down. Prioritise the topspin, then gradually try and make contact with the ball a little lower so your getting lots of spin with a little more height. Gradually work your way down the face of the ball until you get more height and slightly less spin! Hope that helps! Stick at it!!
Wow a real topspin tutorial and not some knuckleball or other thing. Really nice breakdown, what part of the foot do you like hitting the ball with in this technique?
Thanks John! It’s down to personal preference, I personally find it easiest with the inside of the foot ironically just where the knuckle of the foot is 😂 I find you still get power but lots of spin too!
It’s a regular problem bro! Keep hitting the ball where you go JUST for topspin, knuckle means you are hitting it too low (middle of the ball). There is a sweet spot JUST below the top of the ball that will get you enough height without losing your topspin!
That’s not correct. The angle of your foot and direction it is travelling means the ball still lifts. Thing of a ping pong ball. When you apply topspin you hit above the middle but you swing UP from below the centre. This upward momentum creates lift and forward spin.

@@CatalanSoccer Thank you so much, this is what I was looking for 👍
Nice technique But its not the one messi is using
Messi uses a range, sometimes topspin, curl, power shot. This is one of the many he uses depending on the situation and distance from goal.
Solid tutorial and solid channel🔥 I’m looking forward to many more shooting tutorials, especially how to shoot a curved shot⚡️⚡️
Perfect! Thanks. I will be showing this to my team when we start the season back up.
Thanks so much! Really
Hope it helps you guys!
Go to Catalan now love you guys my class is with Dan 2 and josh on monday
We love having you! Keep training hard!!

@@CatalanSoccer but when u kicking a ball above its center it won't lift.
