Hello,
I found this site yesterday while searching for some foosball tactics online. The content is great! We have a table at my office that everyone competes on, basically just for bragging rights.
I had a couple of questions about some terminology of the shot descriptions in the foosball university, and a technique question.
1) Am I correct in assuming the difference between a kick and a shot (in the 'university' descriptions) is that with a shot, you initiate and shoot with the same man on the 3 bar, and with a kick, you intiate with one man then shoot with another (ie it's a pass and kick, or like a one-timer in hockey)?
2) Is the difference between a pull and a push shot just the direction you push the rod (towards or away from you)?
Sorry if these are terribly obvious.
Also, a technique question:
3) In the basic level shooting section (
http://www.foosball.com/content.php?page=105) the author says that a push shot is not as good as a pull shot (and that most people switch away from them pretty quickly). Why is this?
Thanks for anyone that can help,
Jeremy
