Comments on: How to Kick an in Swerve in Soccer

on 8/8/2006 Judge which part of the ball you need to strike before kicking (eg. for right footers; opp for left footers: bottom right corner for an in swerve, bottom left corner for an out swerve and dead center for a shot, etc). Look at that part of the ball. Keep your eyes on that part of the ball as you approach the ball and kick it. Only look away after you are well into the follow through. Always keep your eyes on the ball when taking any kind of kick!

Dont try it in the game

No one will be happy and you'll look like a fool.

on 3/26/2006 Try to have as little a follow through as you can after you get a clean hit on the ball. This will cause the ball to bend more, speed + mass = bend. So the quicker you hit the ball, and the harder, the better.

on 11/22/2005 Try jumping off your kicking leg before you plant your other foot on the ground. This will make the ball go farther. Also, if you squeeze your toes together in your shoe, you will get the ball to rise more.

on 10/21/2007 Make sure you use your laces and not your toes as the ball will go out of control.
