Think You Can Beat a Professional Foosball Player? Think Again

They're way better than your college roommate.

Professional foosball players understand the game at a microscopic level. Their movements are incredibly precise, accurate, and fast.

You almost have to watch a professional foosball game in slow motion in order to understand exactly what is going on. Official rules forbid players from “spinning” the bars (which is most amateur players’ favorite move), so they have to be much more elegant in their kicks. Passing and ball control are also incredibly important and, often times, ignored among amateurs.

If you want to play at a professional level, get practicing. You won’t learn these kinds of moves in a weekend in your parents’ basement.
