Be very agressive there is nothing worst than having your partner watch the ball go by without even tring to stop it. Foosball tables are tuff slam those bars around. Don't worry about it to much untill you jar the table or other team says something.

you can be aggressive and try hard without being wild...controlled aggression is fine...you don't want to be a door mat but you can play smart active focused foosball without giving up your natural personality
make people earn everything and try as hard as you can every second...that is aggression, it is not being crazy, loud, boisterous, animated, rowdy, or noisy
and it doesn't mean slamming rods, but it means trying as hard as you can for every loose ball weather trying to get or stop one
it means not taking naps or being lazy
you can be an introvert and a great "aggressive" player

I read if you dont get called for jaring your not playing hard enugh

Two ways to look at it.
First, try to win every ball, simple as that. Never take a point off.
The other way is play every ball as if it were meatball.
I'm done,lol.

If you don't like the term "aggressive", you can call it "in the zone" or "totally focused" or whatever you like. It's not about being a killer, because killing is not the name of the game. It's about playing every ball with maximum effort - because that means maximum fun! In doing so, you're also nice to your opponent. The bigger the obstacle he has to overcome in order to score, the more he will value his point. (Basically taken from "The Inner Game of Tennis" by T. Gallwey)

I second that, Iceman... I've noted over the years how so many forwards do not defend on the five and 3, when the ball's not in their possession. I believe that's the one reason many players are so dominant, because they defend at all times when they don't have possession, scratching and clawing to get that ball. For the rest, it's as if they're on the sidelines in a football game, having Gatorade and chilling until it's their turn again. And goalkeepers that allow several rebounds that go out of their area: it's just presence of mind, and the habit of always having it on.

There's nothing sweeter than setting up with a showing of intense intentions and then doing a smooth dink or mid-speed back cut only to follow it up with the real deal. I used to be so intense I was quivering and it intimidated alot of people. It also made them over-react to my wife's play which was off speed and smooth. I'm getting it back but learning to do it with in the limitations of Tornado play.
