[@reed8081]

It's crazy considering he most often heads the ball square on his forward, so he's not just touching it, he's connecting with coordinated power.

[@Martin.1127]

True but this ball is higher than the one in game. They have the bottom aligned with how high he went to make it simple for the challenge. Also fairly sure even the number they used it a little to high

[@Korhh]

Ronaldo is insane dont get me wrong, but when heading a ball in a match you can use leverage another player, u can see him do it a bit when he scored

[@lialialaia2756]

The ball isn't this height in game. This was his best EVER and it was measured to the tip of his hair, not his head. Ronaldo himself, even if he was warmed up and in his prime, wouldn't be able to complete this challenge without a beanie

[@edenarchive4150]

The ball is moving and it bounces. He needs exactly zero power to direct it into the goal. All he has to do is be in its path.

What makes Cristiano's header so special is not just the pure vertical factor (which probably could be achieved no sweat by several basketball players), but the fact that his jumping technique makes him "float" on air for a split second which helps him score those crazy headers. That's no bull, it's a scientific fact, it was researched on the documentary "Ronaldo to the Limit".
