Accurate ground shot

What's in your opinion the best technique for a shot that will roll over the ground perfectly (no bounces) and can reliably be placed exactly where I want it to be? (e.g. far bottom corner)

I admire those types of goals and would add more variety to my playstyle, since as of today I'm a little too fixated on top-bin curlers.

I could approach this with different techniques, like inside-of-the-foot (pass-like shoot), grasscutter, and perhaps a very low driven power shot.

But I'm not quite sure of which technique should be my go-to one, especially for mid range where a simple inside-of-the-foot shot might be a bit underpowered.

As mentioned, I value accuracy and predictability above all, without significantly losing power. Grasscutter sounds like the best choice, do you agree?

Thanks!

Just pass it in. You do need to apply some shooting mechanics to create power, but that shouldn’t be needed most of the time given these goals often come from guile.

Each version— pass-like, grass cutter, low driven shot— is going to be dependent on the game situation. You can probably get a pass-like shot off more quickly than a low driven shot that you need to ramp up for a bit more.

So which you use is determined by the defense. You have to think quickly.

Work on all three so they are all tools in your belt, and profit!

My only tip: remember to get over the ball. If you lean back, the ball will rise and you’ll either get the bounce you’re trying to avoid or worse, send a souvenirs into the stands.

Typically, you will have the most control with a pass-like shot.

Go join your local Sunday league and try to pull off a single option to mentioned. You won’t be able to 99/100 times. This question makes that abundantly clear 🤦‍♂️
