Shooting Technique



Locking your ankle (pointing toes down), when striking the ball, is probably the single most important factor in developing the proper shooting technique. It is also the hardest skill to learn. The Super Kick has made that task easier. You don't have to think about what you are doing wrong anymore. The Super Kick will tell you, and correct your technique in minutes.


Steps to improve your shot.

1. Leg Position:
Bring your kicking leg as high as possible. This will generate the most amount of power.

2. Ankle Position:
Keep your ankle locked. Picture above shows the position of the ankle before striking the ball.

3. Knee Position:
Your plant knee should be slightly bent. This will ensure that you strike the ball with the laces. The more you bend the knee the more chances you'll have to strike the ball with your laces.

4. Plant Distance
Try to keep your plant leg about a foot or a a foot and a half away from the ball. This will ensure that when you strike the ball your kicking ankle will be at a 45 degree angle: the angle at which you'll generate the most amount of power.

5. Body Position:
Make sure your lean slightly forward. this will ensure that your shot will stay low to the ground. If you lean back the ball will go up in the air.

6. The most important Step: 45 degree angle
This is extremely important. If this is not done correctly your shooting will not improve. Your ankle needs to be at about a 45 degree angle so that you can strike the ball with your laces. If you are not at this angle there is a high chance that you will strike the ball with you toes.
