How to Do Foosball Trick Shots

While the basics of foosball are necessary to play the game, most want to amaze and astound other players and friends with trick shots. After all it's no fun to win but have no style in doing so.

Instructions

Bank Shot

1

Pin the foosball using the middlemen rod.

2

Control the foosball and move the closest man slightly to one side of the ball.

3

Move the foosball to the closest wall opposite of the bank shot wall.

4

Cover about a third of the foosball with the pin. Maintain enough pressure so that the foosball does not move.

5

Rotate the pin down and through the foosball and towards the bank shot wall. This shot will take time and effort to practice. The necessary placement and angles may be difficult at first.

Rebound Smash

6

Position the foosball on the three-man control bar. Move the ball as if a push kick shot is about to be shot.

7

Release the foosball hard against the back wall. Be prepared for the foosball to come back quickly. The timing on this is critical to the shot.

8

Use the middlemen rod to slap the passing rebound into the goal. Again, timing is crucial so this shot should be practiced before trying it in a game.

Arial Long Shot

9

Establish control of the foosball.

10

Pin the foosball against the wall and slowly raise the foosball of the ground.

11

Use the second line defensemen to help balance the foosball.

12

Flip the foosball up, over the other defenders, and into the goal. Now this is obviously a very difficult shot. Much practice is needed to perfect the shot.
