camera looks good. just keep the videos coming. suggestion. in the future could you discuss using one hand on the goalie rods for defense. I have big hands and still have trouble. probably more so in knowing where the men should be. I have tried to use this but it ends very bad for me. thx in advance

[@andriusbendikas9117]

Great video. I'd be interested in seeing a full comprehensive video on this. Meaning, that the grip position is explained and shown from all angles, and all positions accordingly. :) Also, Euro Front Pin tutorial would be interesting for sure.

[@ChasePennell]

My Euro pin is not the best. But if you go back to my Pull Shot tutorial you can see the grip explanation, stance and everything else as well.

[@andrasfekete2396]

Great camera, greater tips!

[@macestclair3996]

I think you videos a very helpful thanks for the tips

[@hunterratliff2452]

Camera looks good man

[@billycarpenter288]

Thanks for unlocking this mystery for me. Much appreciated.

[@ChasePennell]

Glad to help!

[@marcf14able]

Nice videos and the camera looks good!

[@AzNightmare]

0:45 *Thanks for that info... I'm tired of debating with people at clubs who disallow any "fluke" goals and all these other stipulations like no 5-bar scoring. I mean, I know it kind of sucks to get one by luck, but a goal is a goal and luck is a part of the game, and in general, life.*

[@flippperboy]

Just started playing and need to whoop some fools. Thanks

[@tattooedrelichunter1096]

Thanks for all your videos

[@Ninja_Shepherd]

Camera looks good but I think the one used in the last sweat the small stuff had more intense quality. IMO though this cam still looks awesome

[@shinahriley83]

Great video as always.

[@NICKDASLICK]

Camera looks great!

[@BCarey1970]

Hit it hard hope it go's. Main resin way I stopped playing.

[@brendanhayes-oberst1398]

I believe a lot of the power comes from pinching to ball so slightly downward between the guy and the floor. Then when you bend the rod this helps even more and makes it less likely for the ball to get stuck. I think to get power the ball has to be behind the guy. I think more experienced players might not even realize they do this pinching action.

[@jimburns7802]

Great video. I learn valuable tips from each one.

[@allaricebosch4097]

I like the camera video

[@BrettBrewer1]

I never noticed a prob with the old camera quality, but since you made me pay attention to it in this vid I did notice what appeared to be some artifacts due to the shutter speed, especially at the end when you were standing against the solid background in dim light... probably auto shutter speed going lower (or maybe higher?) than whatever frequency your lights are flickering at. Also, just a general tip you may already know, but if you want to make yourself look better on camera, put the camera further away and zoom in. Portrait photographers do this, usually shooting at 110-120mm focal length. It flattens out facial features which generally produces a more flattering image, but you do lose some depth of field and exposure, which means you may have to lower the shutter speed. Regardless, thanks for another great tip!

[@corbinluke222]

Thanks, good stuff. Idk what kinda camera you have, but you might be able to set your focus on your self or the table befor hand, because the auto focus tends to shift really hard when filming Foos tables. But it looks great.

[@ChasePennell]

yea the autofocus is a little wonky... #LearningCurve

[@matt1901]

I genuinly appreciate this video, since I myself have major troubles to consistently generate power with a wrist shot (also, my wrist gets tired quickly after a couple of big pull shots). Do you have any more tips how to train my wrist to have a sharper and more consistent "snap", apart from what you showed in the video?

[@4724.]

It snapped the wrong way lmao

[@byronathon]

New camera good. Better quality audio, as well. Use both new camera and GoPro, then post-edit with cuts and cross-fades.

[@samuseternal]

Camera looks good. A little white noise in the background, but nothing your new mic shouldn't fix.

[@ChasePennell]

Fingers Crossed! :-)

[@sargath]

Does bending the rod has some impact on rods themselves that they became used somehow?

[@diltsman]

It depends on if you exceed the elastic limit of the rod. Given that Tornado rods are heat treated, they will be able to take a lot more energy before the elastic limit is exceeded.

[@dxs_nightwolff]

Finally the word about bending is out. Sadly, too many rookies are going to destroy a lot of rods until - if ever - they find their sweet spot. :/

[@AzNightmare]

*Only suggestion is to record in high frame rate (frames per second) when doing slow motion portion... When you just slow down the video for the slow motion replay, if the fps is recorded too low, then all we see is really jittery stop motion video instead. It doesn't really help then.*

[@Brandon_Carlisle]

Hey Chase, the tips in this video, as well as the 3-bar video are definitely helping with speed and consistency, so thank you. That being said, I have a question about flexing the rod. Are you supposed to apply the down pressure throughout your entire 2/3 bar series, or just when you are striking the ball? It seems more consistent for me when I apply constant pressure, however, it seems like my lateral speed is slower with the constant weight. Thanks in advance and sorry to comment on such an old video, but I figured this was the most appropriate place.

[@ChasePennell]

I only do it when I go to hit the ball. The physical act of striking the ball. I think that is the only way to get power. You might want to watch my power video as well.

[@lppon]

more noise in this camera, but really, it doesn't really matter that much as long as the content is good as usual.

[@ChasePennell]

I have a better mic on order. Jsut waiting for it to get here. :-) Thanks!

[@goodeddie9315]

What's the physics behind putting pressure on the rod to make it "snap"?

[@ChasePennell]

Isn't everything Physics?

[@goodeddie9315]

@@ChasePennell I tried it today and it didn't really work for me. What I did find out was that, if I concentrate on pushing my wrist down instead of twisting it, I got more power.

[@goodeddie9315]

@@ChasePennell What do you mean by push down and then "forward" on the rod? Do you mean forward towards the table?

[@ChasePennell]

Che Chan Are you doing this on a Tornado Table? If not, then this will not work. The rods won’t be the same and you will not be the snap. Forward is the same direction you want the ball to go.

[@zakzak24]

u sure it won't break if I press on it xd ? cause I go to the arcades to play and don't want to end up in trouble as I once broke a billiard cue

[@mvsebastian]

but isn't bending the rod damaging the table? always when I play people put their weight on the rods to put power and after a time the rods remain bent a bit

[@ChasePennell]

Not on a good table. They are designed for this.

[@mvsebastian]

@@ChasePennell the table I used is a "TUNIRO PRO foosball table 110 kg", you should find it on european sites if you search on google, was around 850-900 dollars. What do you think of it? it says it's a semi pro.

[@deepzerocool]

👌🏻

[@medo6351]

Good quality, but I think you are looking at yourself more in the camera!

[@ChasePennell]

HAHA! For sure! I am getting used to a new camera. So there is going to be a bit of a learning curve. :-)

[@medo6351]

Cool man, just wanted to point that out. Keep on the awesome videos coming.

[@stevenjaconette]

Great video! I'm encouraged by the few long 2 bar pulls I've tried focusing on pushing down and forward. Near wall 2 bar slingshot feels great too. I want to make sure i understand what you mean by "towards the foot" though. The foot of the man? My foot? Both of those start out behind the rod, so I'd be pushing down and backwards instead of forwards, which seems to contradict the other advice.

[@stevenjaconette]

Also camera looks good to me!

[@ChasePennell]

Steven Jaconette yea I mean the foot of the table.

[@stevenjaconette]

MindSet Foosball gotcha, thanks! Does the angle change between the 2 and the 3? In other words, am I always pushing towards the foot, or where the foot would be if I were on the 3 rod?

[@ChasePennell]

Steven Jaconette on the 2 it is where the foot would be. But for the 2 there is a little more down pressure than forward and on the 3 due to more flex.

[@dragonofweed]

The camera is fine, but not much different.

[@kevinmartins9689]

What? Bending the pole?! I will try. Look out Rob. The camera seems nice but just out of focus. Maybe?

[@markswink5215]

I disagree, the rules clearly states you can not bend the rods in any way. I been playing foosball for many decades, longer than this guy has been alive. I've seen so many rods get bent and ruined that way. Instead roll the handle in the palm of your hand without rotating It 360 degrees. It takes a lot of practice and skill, but when you master this you'll get much more speed and power.

[@ChasePennell]

I am happy to hear you have been diligent for a long time. Do you go to many tournaments? I would love to hear your most recent results at say the World Championships......You can disagree all you want. But i AM a pro on tour...

[@philchapman9048]

No idea what your talking about
