Hookshots are a skillful way to change the direction of a play and catch the opposition off guard. They require precise timing, control, and situational awareness to execute successfully. When performed correctly, hookshots can lead to spectacular goals and create scoring opportunities for your team.

  • Create Distance

  • Position yourself at a distance from the ball that allows you to assess the situation and set up the shot. This distance is crucial for creating the right angle and momentum for the shot.
  • Drive Alongside the Ball

  • As the ball approaches, drive alongside it. Your car should be parallel to the ball, allowing you to control its direction more effectively.
  • Quickly Drive Into the Ball

  • When the timing is right, accelerate and make contact with the ball using the front or side of your car. The objective is to chip the ball up into the air, changing its trajectory and making it harder for the goalkeeper to save.
  • Aim for the Goal

  • Your aim is to chip the ball into the goal. The angle and power of your hit, combined with the initial setup and positioning, determine the accuracy of the shot.
