Outside of the lob shots, not that impressive....I played with guys as good and better back in the 80's....I myself had one of the best pullshots around.

You guys must be young.

I played goalie I made my little men very wide.
And was mediocre at offensive shots.

Don't worry. I was a goalie demoted to defenseman.
Played in TWO official games.

First one in Moscow Oblast' (region) championship
(got a red card), and the 2nd - in Leningrad City Primiership (not even a yellow card).

Ah foosball, brings back old memories from the early 70s. That was the thing to do after school back then. It was an obsession, and we looked forward to it like we would Aces High if we had it. It was the AH of its day.

I never was good, but we played guys who were so fast I never saw 'em move, and some of em could score every shot from goaly position.

Can't remember all the rules, but we had foul shots and such, and those were sometimes goalys only. Even with linemen it was impossible to stop them.

Those guys were using zen or something.

Wow what a memory lane trip you just made me go on,
In college, two guys down the hall took out all their furniture in the front half of the quad room, and had a foosball table, we had tournaments going all weekend, these two guys played bar tournaments in the area and probably won 90% of the money pots. I had a half decent pull snap shot but these guys hit it so fast you never saw it
Just, BANG, score, lol
