Title: Sullivan Rue - shot technique
Post by: supertobi on January 26, 2025, 10:41:07 AM

Hi everybody,

I've been playing foosball casually for a while, but I recently bought my own table to start practicing seriously. To decide which shot system to focus on ("Euro pin" vs. snake shot), I’ve been watching tons of YouTube videos, including footage from recent tournaments. I came across an incredible player, Sullivan Rue, who seems to be a top-tier foosball talent. Am I right in thinking she doesn’t use either the pin shot or the snake shot, but rather a "push shot," where the lateral movement starts with the ball positioned next to the player instead of under a front pin?

If that’s the case, can I assume it’s less about which specific shot system you master and more about being really proficient with at least one, combined with strong passing and overall technique?

I look forward to your comments!

Greetings from Germany

Hi guys,

Sullivan Rue uses the "push shot' instead of the Euro pin or snake shot, allowing for quick movement. More importantly, mastering at least at least one type of technique, combined with passing ability and overall technique, is essential to playing effective foosball.

You're absolutely right as Sullivan Rue often uses a push shot, not the traditional snake or Euro pin.
