I've put up a section on Game Strategy and Tactics on www.kdfinfotech.com
Are there any shots that I have left out which I should include in the thumbnails? Any additional shots/strategies to include? Feedback from all the experts on the forums would be appreciated.
The shot you have labelled as a "pull" is actually a push-kick as far as I can tell, and the one you have labelled as a "push" is actually a pull-kick.
Thus you don't have any of the 3 most effective shots used by the world's top pros (pull, snake, front-pin). You have a lot of "funsy" shots that are poor strategic choices in real games (your front-pass looks like a turbo/driveby/give-and-go, your "vertical rebound" looks like a primitive attempt at a scorpion, etc).
I would focus more on the basics: pull shot sprays and squares (possibly with lift fakes as well), snake shot sprays and squares, brush passing, stick passing, and shooting through defensive zones. Defensively focus on zones against the opposing goalie and show both a standard and a reverse defense and explain the differences and when to use each one. Maybe discuss a few different motions and explain why standing still on defense and then trying to "race" to block the shot is ineffective.
If you want to have the "funsy" stuff, maybe a seperate "flashy street-ball" section is in order? It's really outside the realm of good strategy and tactics, but it's cool to have so people can learn some new moves for pickup games.
Also, it's impossible to see what the defensive zones look like without a real table layout (1- or 3-man goalie rod, 2-man defensive rod, 5-man midfield rod, and 3-man forward rod). You also need both a goalie and a 2-rod to explain when to spray and when to square, what a reverse and standard defense are, etc.
