From experience, you will learn to pivot, change hands at lightening paced frenzies and finished fast-paced games where as my ally and friend has taken a beating personally at my hands. My story will teach you to steer clear of any embarrassing moments spent at the loser's end of the bar. The British Foosball Association can deliver the rigid rules and regulations one seeks in becoming a Foosball master. Here are the coveted moves listed to perfect.

Wrist-Flick

Wildly rotating the men layered metal bars at precisely the winning moment can set separate the men from the boys and women from the girls. The wrist-flick is a quick and effortless spin of the bar resulting from a quick eye and fast reflexes. With this move, the ball travels at an amazing speed but can bounce wildly back at you or land in your opponents designated field of play for the ultimate score.

Circulating the Opponent

The key is to keep a tight defense and leave no open pockets of playing field for your opponent to gain the upper hand. Excellent foosball players will not let the playing field open for any reason to their opponent. Keep your opposite player on their toes, and you will most likely come out as the winner.

Tilting the Opponent

Line your middle bars on the gaming field up with your opponents and devise a defensive amount of outward family field bars with precise judgment and you are sure to block your opponents shot. Your opponent will have to be equally defensive and competitive to out-maneuver and out-smart you at foosball.

Defensive maneuvers in the center and outward bounds of the field area will have you delivering the shot of complete mayhem! Your opponent will try and outsmart you by shooting hard and strong, but if you have your men in line opposite of one another there will be no open spaces for him to get the ball past and put it into your goal.

Striker Shooting

Normally, not many hard shots will result in goals, even if you are a foosball expert. Seeing an open space in your opponent's field is still hard to sometimes shoot for and even make. You do have to seek out chances and take them even if the result is shooting with your strikers hard or soft.

Striking Your Opponent Sideways

Controlling the ball during game play will often move the ball swiftly between three opponents. Fast and hard is the name of the game during heated and heavy moments of tense game play. Shooting the ball to your opponent with an open space, allows you to deliver all the stamina of swift movement you can deliver.

While these maneuvers won't guarantee victory, practicing them will make you a more adept player and should give your foosball competition second thoughts about challenging you to a game.
