Shooting a Knuckleball can be very frustrating and that's why not everyone can do it. But I will show you what worked for me and if you follow them you will start shooting like Cristiano Ronaldo. I repeat this can take a while until you start shooting like the legend. Before I go on with the tutorial, you don't need to have the best shoes (NIKE ® , adidas

®,

PUMA

®,

etc.)

in order to do the technique you can do this with any football cleats. Without any further delay here is the technique.



Step 1

Place the ball however you want but many people suggest that you have to have the valve (the small circle hole where you pump the air) facing towards you.



Step 2

Start by taking five steps backwards, take two steps to the right if you are left-footed and two steps to the left if you are right-footed. You should try to have like a 35-45 degree angle between you and the ball. This is not a very important step and you can change around to suit your technique.



Step 3

When you run-up to take the shot, your supporting foot must have a distance between the ball not too close and too far preferably around 10cm to 20cm while maintaining a slight bend in the ankle creating somewhat of a angle. Your supporting foot's toe must follow the direction of the shot.



Step 4

The contact area is right in the middle of the instep and the laces, you will feel a strong bone and that is the place where you should try to hit the ball from. And when you shoot the ball try to keep your foot straight and strong as possible.

This is the bone you should shoot from





Step 5

You have to hit the ball right under the middle (valve) but not too much, the lower you kick the higher the ball goes and vice versa. If your ball has a backspin then you are hitting too low.



Step 6

When you take the shot try to keep your body straight or slightly leaned forward but don't lean backwards as this will cause the ball to go high and reduce the ball having a backspin





Step 7

Now probably the most important part of this technique, the Follow-Through. Our goal is to have less backspin on the ball. Right before you take the shot you should have the foot slightly rotated outwards and this will make the ball move distinctly to the direction of the strike, neither left nor right.

Rotate your foot slightly outward to minimize errors





Step 8

As soon as you hit the ball you should try to minimize how far your leg goes what I mean by that is that you have to stop your hip movement but your shooting leg has to go a bit far. You have to land on the foot you shot the ball from.

Try to stretch your leg and create an angle
