Game Penalty Kicks: Bend It Past the Keeper
📚 Guide: Head Ball Games: Free Head Soccer and Sports
What is Game Penalty Kicks?
You stand on the spot with the match resting on your boot. Where you strike the ball and how hard you hit it shape the curve it travels and decide whether the keeper reaches it. It looks simple, but the keeper reads you a little better with every kick.
How to play
Swipe quickly across the ball with the mouse or your finger. The direction of the swipe sets where the ball goes and the speed sets how hard it is struck. A swipe from underneath lifts the ball, while a swipe across the edge puts spin on it and bends it towards a corner. The keeper usually dives along the first line the ball takes, so curled shots into the corners beat hard shots down the middle.

Tips
- Stop hitting the same corner. The keeper picks up a repeated side quickly.
- Swipe across the edge of the ball for spin that curls away from the keeper's reach.
- Hardest is not most accurate. A controlled shot that shaves the post is the safer bet.
