Hey,
So I've been playing soccer (football/futbol) for the past few years, and recently I've started to play some 11-11 games.
So regarding free kicks, I was wondering how you get more spin on the ball to get it to swerve (a la Beckham).
I kick with my right, and I stand about 5 yds left and about 2 yds back from the ball.
Eg:
.............................. ____________
_________________( Goal )____________
..................|......................................|
..................|______________________|
...............................o - ball
.....................X - me
I aim towards the right top corner, and I hit the ball from towards the bottom right of the ball with the inside part of my foot.
I get a good amount of side spin and the ball usually gets in the goal a few inches off the top crossbar, but its not enough to really get the ball to serve inwards.
Any tips? Thanks in advance
(and if the example doesn't work, blame my incompetance on typing up drawings.)
