It's been bugging me for awhile...

Hi guys, this term has really got me wondering. When those football experts keep saying, he hit the ball with almost no backlift[b] at all, just what do they mean? I mean, what in the world is backlift?
-
you don't pull your arm back and swing your kick leg?
something like a toe poke... -
thought it was that. like completely no backward swinging motion. but wayne rooney's goal against middlesbrough was described as having almost no backlift at all. but in the replay's, he clearly pulls his leg back before striking the ball.Originally posted by R3SsH|n:you don't pull your arm back and swing your kick leg?

i suspect it's more to do with the ball's trajectory than anything. but i'm hoping someone can enlighten me on this. -

no, just a football phreak. i'm rather into the coaching aspects of the game as i definitely will never make it as a player, so who knows where coaching might take me. that's y i'm so interested in the technical terms i guess.
-
maybe the commentator made a mistake.
i think someone who always does a no backlift is frank lampard in the penalty box... -
i think no backlift is when u hit the ball u didn't pull or lean your body backwards but instead u lean forward.......not very sure but i think it's that.....
-
yeah, seems that way. because if you lean back, the ball typically will fly upwards. when they say that there's no backlift, the ball doesn't fly up or down a lot.Originally posted by The man who was death:i think no backlift is when u hit the ball u didn't pull or lean your body backwards but instead u lean forward.......not very sure but i think it's that..... -
actually jimmy floyd hasselbank is also one who does not use much backlift. but still darn get lotsa power in the shot.
-
it depends on which part of your foot you use to strike the ball + the area of the ball.Originally posted by stellazio:actually jimmy floyd hasselbank is also one who does not use much backlift. but still darn get lotsa power in the shot.
ie: is it the inside, inset or outside foot?
and is it the top part, middle part or lower part of the ball?
