Defense Strategy

If you are playing against beginners, then you will probably use a racing type of defense or perhaps a flex defense. However, you would not want to use these types of defenses to block against John Smith (the 91 world's single Champ) and his deadly pull shot. Instead, you would be better off using a "flex" or "sucker" type defense. They are not guarantee to stop every shot but they a lot better than racing to block to the shot. Start out with defending shots attempted from the front three men. Concentrate mostly on the most common shots such as the pull shot, pin shot, push shot, brushkick, and the bank shot.

Pull Shot Foosball Defence Strategy

I believe the pull shot is probably the most difficult shot to defend against. Especially if you are playing against someone who knows how to use it to its fullest potential. The pull shot is easy to set up and easy to control as well.

A good pull shot shooter usually has so much power and control that he or she can have the ball in the hole before you can blink an eye. A shake defense is where the goalie wiggles or shakes the men around hoping to block the shot attempt by chance. This is a complete waste of time because someone who knows what they are doing will either go straight in, split, or go long.

First, you want to have your goalie set (a pair of men together) almost directly in front of the ball. Ideally, there should be only a tiny portion of one of the men's feet in front of the ball. Again this is to maximize the blocking area of your men. Remember to use the ideal distance between your men in the basic defensive formation.

The front man should be where only a portion of his feet are in front of the ball. By doing this you maximize the blocking area of your men. Another good thing about this is that the shooter will get the illusion that the straight-in is there and squander away a scoring opportunity by trying to slip one pass you.
