How To Shoot A Knuckleball Crazy Free Kick Tutorial

Hi everybody and welcome to our first tutorial Today we will teach you how to shoot a perfect knuckleball It won't take much time to find such tutorial on youtube But today we're going to show you our technique So, Let's GO! First thing of any kick is run-up To perform a knuckleball you need to stand in - steps And you should stand in - degrees angle Also a run-up is not so important as a kick itself And its technique may differ In our case we do all our steps on toes (or last steps) Next part of the run-up is the place of supporting foot It must be placed in - cm from the ball A little bit bended in ankle Your toe must follow the direction of the kick Now let's talk about the kick itself The thing is to have less spin of the ball In this case you have knuckleball effect You have to hit a little bit lower 

the center of the ball But not too much If you kick too low the ball would go surely high Or it would have backspin In our opinion it is better to use the spot between your instep and middle of ankle-joint It is the most solid part of the foot Also you should strain your foot as much as possible For excluding relaxed foot Try not to lean back while hitting the ball Keep your body straight Or slightly lean forward It will help you to reduce ball spinning Also it will help you to have more direction control of the ball Now we will talk about very important part of the tutorial It is the follow-through Our goal is to have less spinning of the ball Before hitting the ball you should slightly rotate your foot outwards And to make it move distinctly to the direction of your strike Nieghter left nor right But the point is to make a max-quick move And after that stop your leg immediately You just have to feel this moment At first you move your hip and shin Then the hip stops, while your shin continues to move Afterwards you stop the shin and make something like a slap Sometimes it is easier to do it with a little hop Try to work-out this movement without a ball or in small distance to the goal Finally we would like to tell some words about balls and football boots There is no difference what cleats you choose They only should be comefortable We prefer to use original footballs (Adidas, Nike) Like Adidas Speedcell, Europass, Teamgeist or Brazuca These all are official match balls
