A swerve shot is a keeper’s worst nightmare because he will never be able to predict the path of the ball.

To save this type of shot, a goalie really needs to have the luck on his side. In other words, you have a big advantage because if you do things right you will be able to celebrate a scored goal.

Before we start to look at how to perform this type of shot I want you to keep in mind following;

First of all, if you are left footed the ball will spin clockwise once you strike it. However, if you are right footed the ball will spin counterclockwise.

Add a little follow through after you hit the ball. By doing so you will be able to add more swerve to the ball. Keep your body relaxed as well because it will make it easier for you to get a clean shot on the ball.

How to Perform

Now, let me explain how to perform it…1. Start by approaching the ball from behind and place your non-kicking foot beside the ball.

2. Extend your arms to create more balance.

3. Charge your shot by taking a full backswing.

4. Your ankle should be locked at a 90 degree angle.

5. Kick the ball with your instep.

6. Complete the shot with a small follow through movement.

Summary

Keep in mind that learning this type of shot may take you a while. It is therefore crucial to keep practicing and never give up. Believe me, the results will come soon or later, just keep on going.
