How to Make a Soccer Ball Knuckle / Dip

[supersoccerfanfan90]

no offence but try to practice with people as wall and a goalkeeper or shoot from further away but nice kicks anyway

[MISMAG828]

@1:46 nice kick bro....

[theIman4]

I'm a striker and I love hitting this shot no telling how many keepers just stood still because they didn't know where it was going

[1DrDougie]

Maestro21acmilan... You hitting the ball of center, trying hitting the ball a little more the left. Also, you could be flicking your ankle. Try hitting the ball softly and locking your ankle. Just to get the feeling down. Good luck

[Maestro21ACMilan]

@1DrDougie Thanks! Tried it today and it was a combination of what you said. The flicking motion feels a bit awkward at first but it got a little easier. I had fractured my ankle so locking was tough but after some stretches it was better.  Thanks again, much appreciated.

[Maestro21ACMilan]

When i do this most of the times it ends up as a curled shot the the left (im a righty). Any suggestions?

[usherfatboy]

Good video! :D

[1DrDougie]

Best video yet, it's the reason I can knuckle the ball. Welll done

[memememe405]

Hey I have a question, when I'm knuckling it I usually can't get it higher than like two feet. And when I do, it just has backspin. Think you could tell me what I'm doing wrong?

[MrOrangy1]

"So you nedd to klashdfajlfhaskhfjkasfgkasgfa,­this is how you need to come to the ball"

[k13ren]

good video mate :)

[alealevecchi]

Great job! but dare I say ginger?

[FIFAPotato]

i anyway can't learn this :D learning like yaar or so and no succes.

[1232monkeyboy]

THE ONLY REASON HE CAN DO THIS IS BECAUSE HES USING A HELIUM BALL.

[X6Productions]

might not seem it at first, but this is actually the best explanation i think I've seen. You cover pretty much everything you need to know

[Guusuitreek197]

I don't get the ball high in the air when I shoot like this. What do i need to do?

[drummingzombies]

@Guusuitreek197 lean back more and get ur foot low on da ball to get more air

[sebbie1997]

at the start i didnt expect it ti be a good video, but you are a beast! greatings from holland!

[WannaBlazeWithMe]

i was watchin it untill I mentioned he's a ginger

[hansawesomeness]

can 10 year old kids dip like you???

[RX8402]

Dam kid u hit that ball so good!

[SkinnySlimJim]

[SoccerByJP]

hey guys, please check out my new video! - /watch?v=5WfRDcnkZ2A

[wutab19]

This is awesome, keep it up!

[MrJacobbbbbbbbbbbb]

When I try this the ball always curls :( what am I doing wrong ?

[MrAnimeFreak2010]

how old are u ? and ur one of the best free kick takers ive ever seen

[Ads97ads]

1:46 Heskey came to learn from him :)

[elou124]

Can you do this with your left foot?

[wordizbon]

Nice tutorials. In between your explanations throw in a demonstration rather than wait until your done explaining the whole thing. I find it more affective. Other than that, I've watched them a few times. Good work

[AtVyOrTkA]

L.Messi or C.Ronaldo ?

[ShakaBizwaZ]

Please your a great player and all but wtf is soccer come on fam its football

[memememe405]

@ShakaBizwaZ another kid? Dude, honestly. In what way in hell does it matter what it's called. Does it change the sport? NO! So quit whining that we call it soccer. Jesus.

[ShakaBizwaZ]

@memememe405 Im not a 'Kid' and i'm not complaining... and there is a point to calling it football if everybody had a different word for something it would have different interpretations and meanings i don't mind you call it soccer but as a sporting community who enjoys this specific sport i think it would be better if it had a name we could all mutually enjoy.

[S0CCeRFreak1000]

this is good but when YOU shot

the ball goes straight down the middle most of the time so the keeper is gonna get it anyway

thumbs up if you agree

[nickdabeast95]

@S0CCeRFreak1000 click the annotation at the top!

[amitkumarsingh406]

@nickdabeast95 are all the shots which have very little spin are knuckles ?

[yamayuff]

@S0CCeRFreak1000 Honestly, i don't know why people insult this guy so much. He's amazing

[Jose11blue]

[karenalva22]

hes the 2nd best white boy i kno thts beast at soccer! (1st is rooney)

[FrosteeFreeze]

Holy crap, Its a ginger

[ThePhaelure]

You dont want to much downward motion or too much upward. So the axis of motion co-agulates with the ball for maximum speed, keep your foot flat (kicking foot) Hit ball with the Middle Part of your foot. The ball will curve if your kicking foot is even the slightest angled. For dipping. You want more upward motion so it spins forward thus bringing the ball down. For a floating ball you want for downward central. This way it goes dead straight and then goes offset. ( keep foot flat for a 3 kick

[JrNepz]

he is better than heskey !! :D

[tctawesomecompany]

@ nickdabeast95 i play goalie and i started playing forward.when i punt the ball it nuckles and swerves. will it be the same motion?

[ThisToast]

[MayixL]

best torturial ive seen

[TheCRSuper7]

hey bro can u make a tutorial of top spin please,i can do the knuckle ball but i want the ball to spin as well so please

[MrJonInDaHouse]

@TheCRSuper7 the technique to getting topspin is kinda similiar to knuckling but wat u wanna do is kick the lower part of the ball but not getting underneath it and just kicking it in an upward motion

[TheCRSuper7]

@MrJonInDaHouse thnx mate,i really appreciate that :D

[508356]

Awesome!

[manu99969]

i still cant dip the ball

[TheSoccerEssentials]

Great tutorial.

For knuckles you really want to flex your foot make sure its a locked ankle and then it's 50% contact point and 50% follow through. Really look at his technique and try to break it down and replicate it.

[6Ace0Ace0Ace9]

nice try .. thats just a dip(i.e. normal when a ball spins).. but thats not a knuckle ball... why??

1.knuckle ball doesnt spin

2.you can direct a knuckle ball but its accuracy is 0% .. why?? ans. on poin 4

3.knuckle ball doesn't bend it straight like a pin.

4.knuckle ball's direction cant be judged by the shooter nor the keeper.. it totally depends upon the wind ( pressure on the ball)

5.knuckle ball cant be hit from the side of your leg. its like a knuckle punch. it comes right from the ankle

[zxXNinJaXxz]

@6Ace0Ace0Ace9 So all the other 100,000+ videos on youtube listed as : how to make a soccer ball knuckle are all wrong? Im pretty sure the whole world knows this type of shot as a knuckle. Half of your arguments are invalid due to the fact that he never said you could control where the ball goes, he never said you can control the accuracy. and when he shoots the ball it never even makes a full rotation. you can make the ball knuckle by hitting it with more than one part of your foot.

[6Ace0Ace0Ace9]

@zxXNinJaXxz

 this channel doest allow to paste links...check ur inbox...

[Papercut231]

imma try dis

[ptrspekt]

[9dstom]

taught football by an american wow

[fizzman97]

Can you please try this with a wall?

[philipmcjim]

if you have to think for that long about how you're hitting the ball in a real game you'll completely fail.

[Investobook]

@philipmcjim he is showing you how to shoot it, obviously you have no idea what soccer is

[nikeathlete23]

thts sick

[joshybumboshy]

great tutorial kid which position do you play for your school or team?

[BrendanDioli16]

[seanomatopoeia]

[nickdabeast95]

@seanomatopoeia ahh man it appears you have misunderstood... i hail from delaware which is across the bay and on the eastern seaboard. NICK (Delaware Across the Bay) EAST95... i hope that clears it up!

[mrsoccerfcb10]

[bmek1995]

@nickdabeast95 i always thought it was 'nick da beast'.....

[mindfreak9809]

@bmek1995 yea its like 'Nick the beast"

[xMattyAyre]

@nickdabeast95 this is hard for me because i left footed :P

[yugioh96trader]

@nickdabeast95 Hey man, great tutorial, but i get the power right but i still seem to slice it so the ball has backspin insted of frontspin, any tips?

[Albozfolife]

Dont listen to all these immature low lifes your really good (:

[jaketherampage]

nice boots , i was going to get them

[xMattyAyre]

Really a ginger trying to teach us how to play football?WTF

@xMattyAyre whats the matter with you, man? he's a beast.

[persianfreestyle]

@SSBBHeadQuarters he is mean nickdabEAST is way better than him

[C0KI3M0NST3R]

Badass cleats

[SuperMilkman12]

i now have to burn my boots as they are the same as his :/

[nickdabeast95]

@SuperMilkman12 go ahead man.

[kungfu1221]

@nickdabeast95 how do you get that much power while your left foot is close to the ball while ur kicking?

[SeattleSoccer11]

how about using a ball besides europass that knuckles no matter what

[TheArsenalNasri]

@SeattleSoccer11 that was a replica ball so it isnt the same as the matchball

[BHDmalarkey]

do what nakamura does hit the ball from the side like slicing it and youll have a perfect dip

[Littlegerben]

subscribe, ginger got talent :D

\

[MrGerMerica1]

Thanks a lot! This really helped clear things up :)

[FCBjones7]

what is the diffrence between knuckling and a regular shot really there isnt its not like curve vs knuckle where there is an actuall diffrence

[willwilson96]

@FCBjones7 when knuckling is done correctly the ball moves about in the air both ways, so it wrong foots and confuses goalkeepers, you see it so often with ronaldo's knuckle free kicks where the goalkeeper doesnt even dive because he thought it was going to the other corner

[BingBadaBoom121]

why is everyone trolling about weather or not its a football or a soccer ball

[IDannyRX7I]

I can a knuckle ball. Top spin a little bit.

[CR9soccerdude]

every time i try to dip it, i always end up knuckling it...what am i doing wrong?

[Xxjones88xX]

@scorp00n why does it if it's called a soccer ball? srsly what harm is that doing?

[scorp00n]

@Xxjones88xX sucker baII soundss stupid onIy suckers caII lt ''soccer'' hahahaha

[MegaSaif2010]

You played till night fall!!!!!!!!!!:D

[hhrockys]

i've been playing football for many years but its really hard to kick a knuckle ball. I dont know what im doing wrong. I kick it right where you said, and the ball has no spin when i kick it. Do you think it might be the ball? i use a regular leather ball, any suggestions on what ball i should get if thts the case?

[zamplifier]

@hhrockys its a lot easier to do it with a jabulani

[TheEstarr24]

YEAH YEAH WE GET IT NOW TAKE THE BLODY SHOT

!!!!

[MrHopel3ss]

Haha your a ginger.

[foxshot7]

@MrHopel3ss RACIST!!
