The Knuckleball! That elusive skill that few have mastered and many have tried. This technique is revered for being one of the purest ways of striking a football, which means it's incredibly difficult to master. I've spent 3 years trying to strike it consistently.. watching all the tutorials, following all the steps, trying all the techniques. However, it wasn't until I took my focus away from imitating others (1 year ago) that I really started to find success with the knuckleball technique. Now I cant hit one with every strike, and best of all, they are really accurate! This is how I learned to Knuckleball, without having to change my technique. I hope you enjoy :)
Cheers Folks,

Its very important to try all the techniques and find what fits you. This was the best lesson for the knuckleball in my life. Not only that it goes for football and even life. Just find what's best for you.
That’s awesome!! So glad you enjoyed it my friend 😃🧡

Not true sometimes we can’t find what’s good for us unless others tell us
Yh it’s good to see what suits you. But I don’t think you should be stuck with just a curve technique cos sometimes in a match a curve ball won’t be the best. It might be a power shot
*uses outside boot*
I actually i don't really think about follow through when i go for curve free kick ,i just think about target and that's it boom! And after watching this , I'm gonna apply the same rule !!! Love this brother ,we need more videos !!!
That’s kinda the same as me, once you’ve developed the technique it all kinda happens naturally. That’s the goal 😁 but to think about the steps once in a while is super interesting. Makes you realize some of the things you could do better 🧡 Glad you’re enjoying the vids 👍
@@thefootballfolk can you do how to curve the ball
Best football channel on CZcams in regards to assisting people with such key concepts made simple in contrast to those who are over complicating things to make them flashy and cool. I don't usually comment on videos but this page was exactly what I've been looking for as I aim to significantly improve
You really came from nowhere with all this quality content mate 💪 keep it up!
The knuckleball, if mastered, can be such a potent weapon to have in your skill set 🚀
Thanks Oskar!! I’ve been making videos for a few years now trying to get better at the craft :) Really enjoying the process of making these vids😁🧡
@@thefootballfolk Oh I can tell, you have a high standard in your videos! Would be cool to link up sometime 👊
Agreed! Its a matter of time before this video explodes. Good job bro
So glad that channel has been growing rappidly. Keep the quality of these videos up! I always manage to learn more and implement them into my game.
Thank you!! Glad you’re benefiting from them 😁🧡
You're the truth!
My playing days are more or less done (albeit the weekly 5/7 a side) but now I'm in coaching, I apply a lot of what you upload in my own training, which makes it easier to relay to my players. Thank you for putting these top quality videos together - your delivery makes it v easy to digest information, your videos are clean, with humor, without going ott with the fanfares/memes etc.
Keep up the good work man!
Thanks so much Chris! So cool to hear that people are benefiting a bunch from the vids. Kinda blows my mind tbh. Cheers for being here mate 🧡
Superb one of the best channels for football learnings and definitely u pick out stuff that differentiates ur channel from the others
This really helped me I was trying different techniques everyday and couldn't get much success after watching this video I pretty much made my own technique and copied some points from this video and I hit some good knuckleballs just in few first tries.
And it felt super easy.
This was the information I've been finding for so long.
Thankyou so much for the info 🙏
Yes!!! That’s bloody awesome! Thanks for sharing and thanks for enjoying 👍🧡
thanks man, i really love your videos ever since i got into soccer a couple weeks ago, they help out a lot!
After about 200 shots im feelig close to perfecting it for my level obviously. I started implementing the crasscuter or long driven pass which influenced it positively as well. I want to coach and learning the techniques will help me improve my future players. I will give you props on Live TV!
Hello Tony! You deserve not 26k, but 26M subs! Keep the content up and u will reach the tops in to no time. Your content is pure quality and lessons! Keep grinding and dont forget me Tony! :)
Incredible video, thank you so much for an informative and detailed explanation. Gonna spend a full day Friday working on this 😁
Keep up the quality content mate, can't wait to watch your channel grow!
Thanks for watching! You’ll have to let us know how you get on 😊🧡
I was here since 2k subs and you have grown so much. I hope you succeed in content
Thank you very much! Since months I’ve watched all different types of videos I couldn’t find the perfect knuckleball video they had steps as, Run on your toes, and many other steps but it wouldn’t work, untill I’ve used your technique it’s been brilliant I have been scoring great goals, and practicing it everyday, thank you! You have earned a new subscriber!
Wow that’s amazing!! So glad it helped!! Keep it up mate 🧡
VERY NATURAL DETAILED YET RELATABLE TEACHER. Well done ⚽️
Wow! That helped so much. Also, I am so happy that your channel is growing! You have been giving great content since day1!
Thanks so much Harry!! 🧡
Great vid ,love your work
Hey, I remember watching your first videos and you couldn't knuckleball but now you a goat congrats...
Dudeee keep pumping up those videos man i love these
Thanks Fras! Really appreciate that 😁🧡
For me when I hit the ball like a whip dead center and lean towards my striking foots hip. That’s what minimizes follow through and makes it knuckle like crazy. Full extension of the leg at point of contact and bring leg back all the way to increase power too.
Great video mate! 🔥
Hey mate love the content, I've really been struggling with improving my weak foot any tips? Thanks
I was heare since 1,500 subs keep growing
Love these videos. They are great. Keep up the great work.
Thank you 🙏 🧡🧡
TY excited for this episode! The elusive shooting technique that many struggle with...
You’re welcome Tom 🧡🧡
Eagerly waiting for that defending tips mate... thank you 😃
😁😁
from my personal experience, a knuckle ball is built up by the speed of which your leg strikes the ball, the contraction of muscles in the quads that give strength, and the position of the ball where you kick it. additional adjustments would be to instead of swinging, make sure all muscles contract and give it a pure strike. it's mainly about strength actually, your flexibility and foot stability. sometimes i just hit banger knuckle ball goals without even wanting to do a knuckle ball
Quality bro. 👌🏽⚽️🔥
Thanks matey 🙏
Bro, your channel it's awesome! I really enjoy this videos
Thanks Juann!! 😁
congrats on the sponsor, love seeing this channel grow
Thank you so much 🧡 Cheers for being here 😁
bro i love these videos, they helped me get better at shooting and become a monster on the feild.
Yes!! So glad to hear that mate! Keep it up 💪🧡
You are a saviour to so many youngsters. This is all football is about being creative finding yr own technique
Yes! Completely agree. Finding your own style is what it’s all about. It’s important to get inspiration and to imitate, but the success comes from finding your own path 😁
I also practiced this technique for years, because my Beckham bend around the wall wasn't working at all ha, I found when I got the technique right I was hitting the bar constantly ha-ha,
I hit the ball just below half way and come to the ball from the side. Like you said your own way is the best option for getting it right.
Thanks for the video! 👏👏👏👏👏
You’re welcome 😁🧡
Can I incoprate ladder drills and plyometrics like pogo jumps,hops,skaters,tuck jumps etc with my warmup session. Does it improve my footwork and explosiveness my adding this as extra in warmup sessions other than in days for speed explosiveness etc
Can I do footwork and running drills in interlocks/concrete
Question
If i add more power would the knuckle ball move more domfusing
Finally got the point
Thank you so much 👍
You’re welcome Fahad 😁👍
did not expect this video but this skill is going to lethal i can master it hopefully i can. oh and can you do how i produce my videos because the editing and scripting are crazy on these videos man
Glad you enjoyed it 🧡 Oh cool, it’s awesome that people want to know this kinda stuff. Would love to do a breakdown :)
Awesome video, awesome tips! You deserve waaay more followers 💪⚽
I appreciate that!
watching your knuckle ball in slow motion as well as other YTer's I notice the contact is almost like a ping long ball technique except the follow through is not sweeping low and over the grass. It's lifting which makes sense after you draw a line through the ball in your diagram. Thanks for that diagram/illustration because it now makes a lot of sense! If we hit dead center and start lifting we'll get spin, which is what we don't want. but if we hit it slightly lower and follow through as if a line went through the other side, it will not spin. Will be practicing this a lot. TY for your breakdown!
You’re SO welcome Tom!! How have you been getting on?
@@thefootballfolk It's getting there! I'm 42 yrs old, coaching youth comp soccer and need to add this to my bag to teach the kids that want to learn it. recently got a compressed disc in my back giving me nerve pain so I need to take a break. but my sons are outside everyday practicing. Thanks again! your other videos are also very helpful for our team.
Amazing video! Which Camera do you use?
Please make a video on first touch technique behind it with different types of touches and when to use which for eg trapping the ball under the foot or Zidane style touch because sometimes you need to stop the ball immediately and sometimes you need to keep the ball moving with your first touch
That might be coming soon 👀
I subscribed because when i search up a technique on shooting people give me specific ways which kill my nature but your videos tell me the facts regardless of the technique 😁
🙏🧡👌
the football boots he has are amazing. I played with them for about 3 seasons, are they are so comfortable.
my bro just gained a new sub💯
Appreciate it mate 🧡
I always hit the ball with a large surface area on the inside of the foot and follow through straight.
When you hit the ball the shape of the ball changes as it is striked. The more you can change the shape of the ball as it leaves your foot the more it knuckles. Thats why it’s easier to hit with less pumped footballs
HOW ARE YOUR VIDEOS SO GOOD?! You're a gem and I'm so happy I've found you.
Thank you mate!! So glad you’re enjoying them 😁🧡
Mannnnnn!!! Thank you. Keep it up brotherrrrrr :)
Appreciate it mate 🧡
An interesting technique I picked up watching RVP was when he volleys a ball, he'll often straighten both his arms out in front of him.
After trying it out, it really seems to help with lining things up and hitting a shot that travels straight like an arrow.
I'd love to see you do some analysis on how upper body movements and positioning affects kicking techniques.
Ohhhh interesting. Might have to look into that 😁👍
When are you posting the weak foot video?
can u makee the most succesfull penalty technique
Great vid mate🤍
Cheers mate 🤩🧡
I wish all teachers would think like you do. Honestly great video, it's a shame I rarely get a shot at goal xD
Really nice editing
Thanks Davin 🧡
Please can you do a tutorial for insane dipping knuckleball were it has lots of movement and goes really high in the air like it’s gone over the bar
You've helped me more than my school coach 🗿
Actually though
That’s brilliant!! 🧡⚽️
😂😂
Thanks for another advice coach 🥴💯
You’re welcome 🙏🧡
can you please make detailed video on positoning i am a right wing struggling because i am so clueless when im on the field and i have to go back to da bench
I sure can mate. Probably in a few weeks 😁🧡
your videos are so so good
Thank you so much!
i was confused on why the ball kept spinning when i thought i was hitting through the center of the ball when all i was doing was hitting straight down the lower middle part of the ball and finishing off to the left which made it have too much side spin and it went too low. somehow through playing barefoot i realized that it was more natural for me to hit the ball through the bottom right of the ball and hitting through the top left and it actually struck through the center of the ball and got no spin. its weird how the ball works lol i had to hit the side of the ball to strike through the center of the balll
please make a video on Ward Prowse's freekick technique.
I’ll add it to the list 😁😁🧡
Looking in that behind shots made me Dizzy :o
You make the best football tutorials! Holy crap lmao!
Thank so much 😁🧡
To be honest u r the best.🔥🔥🔥🔥
That’s very kind of you 😍
your new boots are nice
man how's this guy not got a million subscribers , he is the joint best with unisport in. my opinion
amazing!!
Thanks 🧡🧡🧡
trying to improve my controlled finishing i was watching mbappe and how uniquely his left arm moves across his body and his right arm. goes 90 degrees up. itd be cool if you made a vid on this
I’ll take a look into it 🧡🧡 Appreciate the suggestion mate
wow so much growth i was here a month (around a month) ago and you only had 1 to 5 k
Thanks mate. Yea it’s been wild 🤯
THANK YOUUU SO MUCH this really helped me know I’m the best shooter on my team
🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thank you very much ❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😊 🧡
Thanks for giving heart
@@thefootballfolk can you please make a video on how to curve a football regardless of technique
You’re doing more of a sinker knuckle than a side to side knuckle. Try to get the side to side perfected! I slice it dead center and or follow through, crossing my leg to where my right foots heal is juts in front of my left knee per say!
How do i find out which technique is best for me? Or how do i find my own technique?
Just focus of striking through the very centre of the ball. Try a variety of strikes that feel comfortable for you 😁 Let me know how you get on
@@thefootballfolk I really will!

Awesome video!! In the next few weeks could you do a tutorial breaking down the different techniques to ping the ball?
hg
could you make a video on how to dribble?
Nice video, but could you do a video about field intelligence like for example looking around to understand whats happening when to pass when to shoot the ball all that stuff.
The reason i asked for a very specific thing because it’s probably the most important out of all, I’ve looked into many videos but the most one that helped me improve way more than I expected was field intelligence
What country is this filmed in btw? Beautiful background at the field that you film at
I’m in New Zealand 😁
2:16 Juninho Pernambucano
…es un tiro libre o un poema???
You are very underated
😁😁😁
I actually find it harder to hit a knuckleball on a set piece, somehow on the move I just focus on the result more and the ball manages to dip and swerve where I want it to. But still can't generate a ton of power. Maybe because I haven't wrapped my head around how to actually do it consistantly
Im pretty sure your channel will become even more bigger, just like unisport, all attack, will john, etc.
Thanks mate! That’s some pretty elite company right there 😅🧡
Love from NZ !

Best CZcams channel in the world right now
🙏🙏🙏
Bro I need a curve tutorial please with all angle
🧡🧡 Did you see the Beckham tutorial on the channel?
It's VERY specific but if you could do a video on the Majer technique for his goal Vs benefica would be incredible
Oh I haven’t been able to find it. Was it the game from yesterday?
@@thefootballfolk yeah that's right, goals at 5:53 absolute stunner

Hey man, perhaps I'm a little late to the party but I believe that's the swaz shot technique
@@15justt it's not exactly the swaz technique cause he hits it with the side of his foot
i used to be so good at hitting the ball like i was firing a literal cannon, now i'm overweight and i swear i cant hit balls for shit anymore. I really need to get in shape because i'm pretty sure i havent lost my technique its just the momentum does't build up like it used to.
Please make a video on juggling
I sure will 😁😁😁
good video but im left footed and cant knuckleball for my life lol, i only did it once when i wasnt even thinking about doing it. I was just zoned out and tried to power shoot it but accidentally knuckled it lol
Bros vids are banging
Thank you!! 🧡🧡
its weird but I tried the knuckle ball tech with my strong foot, no matter how much I focus, it never works. But My weak foot, everything is a knuckle ball lmfao, even my passes haha. I realized its because of my ankles, my right strong foot ankles are so used to kicking one way that its stiff and held steady so I cant really open the ankle up for a shot. My left ankle tendons are a little loser so it opens much wider and it hits the ball square from my side foot. WObbles all the time.
when i hit knuckle i put in top bins and somehow control
This is exactly what I did, I got a personal tactic that almost always does the same thing. it was crazy at first fr was dumbfounded after watching so many videos
🙌🙌🙌
Does the foot have to be a dorsiflexion position or plantarflexion position?
It’s all based on how you feel most comfortable striking the ball. As long as you strike through the centre that’s what matter 👍
I have a crucial game tomorrow I hope I will remember to use it
I’ll be thinking of ya 👍🧡
Bro ,i watched your knuckleball video years ago ,it got 2 M views i think so but now I don't find that one !
3:39 what was that ball that that guy stroke, I would love to know the name of that ball
5:36 also
Can you try a swaz shot I have watched videos but none help
I’ll add it to the list 👍👍
When I do knuckleballs i like to cancle the follow throw by just get my leg back to where i hit the ball
I once hit a knuckle accidently with the part under the laces while trying to do an outer curve. still trying to replicate it
i dont know how do say this but your videos are just good!
Haha thank you so much 😊 🧡🧡
wow thank u so much im actually a pro football player and i know how they say use this or u have to have 5 steps before shooting n stuff but all of that is bs this video is the real deal
Thanks so much mate! Appreciate that 👍
