the sacrifice for the perfect knuckleball from kieran is 💯

That noise that Kieran kept making when hitting the jabulani “Auh” 😂

Most probably the valve is used for placing your foot accurately rather than hitting the valve itself . If you have a target point to hit then you can hit the ball more precisely . It gives a reference point to hit . You can manipulate where to hit the ball relative to valve now . That's why valve is used . And it does improve accuracy upto a certain point.

Kieran is one of the rare KZfaqrs that stayed the same throughout all these years with this enjoyable content! Gives me 2010-2014 vibes!

I want a demon skin jabulani 👀

I hit the ball with the bone of my foot, straight runnup, and toe a bit sideways. It's quite consistent for knuckleballs.

Any other ideas I should try??

The “aughh” every time he hit the jabulani 😂

thanks kieran for putting out content without dropping the quality over the years , btw man city or arsenal?

Love all your videos Kieran!!! Great vid 🎉 keep up the good work ❤❤

A sentence that would perfectly describe the Jabulani would be "A nightmare for professional footballers, but a gift that keeps on giving for content creators".

Great concept! You gotta be closer to the ball while hitting it, and hit it more with the inside of the foot, with the leg coming straight on to the ball instead of from the side, I'm sure you will ace the knuckle soon!

4:30 bro what king of airplanes is Kieran looking at 😂

Bro it was a alot easy when I tried the knuckleball All I had to do was don't copy others and see what fits me. So I watched some videos and learnt that you don't have to actually hit the centre of the ball if you will hit below the centre of the ball with a straight foot and a little bit of force. It actually follow throughs the centre of the ball and automatically your hard bone hits the centre and it's very easy to hit the knuckleball with this technique. It definitely worked for me even as a beginner and it could work for everyone else too.

The demon skin could just have been good since it was the same build as the cheap glider football. Also the flat ball did knuckle quite a lot, but it dipped more than making lateral movements. Was still very unpredictable though. Good experiment nevertheless 👏🏾

A lot of myths in this video - Fair play for testing them all out 😅👊 Thanks for the video inclusion 🙌 Ultimately the Knuckleball comes down to the technique 👌 Great experiment video Ki! 👏

Nice Vid Kieran! You're vids are awesome!

Great video man you always put a smile on my face when I see that you made a new video,stay strong bro. Oh and can you pls make a tutorial on how you do these find of things❤

If you think about what you actually want to happen, make sure the force of your foot goes into the direction the ball will go. Imagine two arrows, the force of your foot and the direction the ball goes, if they are in the same line then the ball will not spin.

The reason why the Jabulani knuckles much easier than other balls irrespective of kicking technique is because of it being too spherical. When you have something like that travelling through the air, there is a lot less drag (air resistance) so it prone to a more unpredictable flight pattern. Compare that to a conventional 32 panel ball, where the stiches between panels acts as divots and create more drag, which leads to a more predictable and less turbulent flight pattern. Great video btw

im no pro but after closely looking at your technique you would probably benefit for striking the ball an inch or two higher. this is because when you strike the ball near the bottom in will generate top spin which will negatively impact the knuckle.

Kieran using science to do a knukleball😂

Try to take last step so big when you hit the ball just a advice it will make your swings big and just hit ball so strong and try to hit volly shot plus lace part mixture and take a big last step when you hit and jump a little in that strp its just your swing and your follow through which make knuckles effect

Hats off for your efforts bro😊😊

lovin the good old WOH after every shot lol

a lot of these things have been tested before and work, i would recommend learning the technique properly and trying it again.

Hey man love your vidz alot ❤ dont u get tired everytime u shoot you have to go get the ball😂❤❤❤

Your technique is the problem not the ball. Use a straight run up, hitting with the flat side of your foot near the ankle, and don't pull your foot to either side, and don't swing through, just stop your foot after contact. You keep pulling your foot to the side after striking and it gives the ball spin. Also for the water filled one and the flat one, you shouldn't have taken it to the extreme. Just do a little bit of water with the rest air, or the ball is too heavy, and with the flat one don't deflate it completely, just a little more than usual so its squishy.

"uuuaaa" the classic line of Kieran

I had a pair of boots that were two sizes two big and for some reason that made knuckleballs a lot easier. Pretty much everything else suffered though!

My most consistent knuckleball technique was shooting without boots on. Don’t know why but every time I tried it and I honestly didn’t even need a run-up, it just happened, weird to say the least.

Jabulani noises were sus 💀

As far as I know the demon skin idea is faulty because the reason the ball curves in the first place is the little pockets on the surface of the ball catching the air and creating traction on the surface, thus causing it to curve. Jabulani knuckles a lot because the ball almost has zero surface patterns that would help the air fill and create curving. I believe the reason the demon skin ball worked is because the ball itself has very little 3d patterns on it. Hope I explained it well English is my second language :)

More than anything you just need a ball that is as perfectly round as possible, with seams that aren't very prominent, and then it's all technique. If you can hit the ball without putting any spin on it then it'll knuckle. Physics is what makes a ball knuckle. That's the thing with the Jabulani, it was almost perfectly round and with the near perfect seams, plus the grooves helping it to direct airflow. A traditional football has a deviation of about 6mm, the Jabulani had a deviation of about 1mm, making it the roundest football ever. Due to it's construction, the speed at which the ball needs to be travelling to knuckle is higher than a normal ball, about 40-45mph vs 30-35mph for a normal ball. The Jabulani due to it's construction also didn't actually spin as much as a normal ball, making it knuckle easier because the less spin that you impart onto the ball when kicking it allows the airflow to be influenced more by the seams, similar to the principle with seam bowlers in cricket that can swing the ball. If you hit the ball dead with no spin, the air is then influenced by the seams to create pockets of low pressure, which the ball moves towards. Because you're hitting the ball faster, it knuckles more.

The jabulani or the real ones anyways are out of my budget I need on thats in my budget but great vid

Kieren, may I ask, where did you buy your jabulani from?

“If my calculations are correct…” 🤓🤓

I love the how Kieran keep going "Wa" when he hit a knuckle with the jabulani

hi kieran! im a fan of from india...and i need help. can you tell me how to not get groin pain after playing football. the pectineus muscle hurts whenever i try to kick the ball hard

How about golf ball like pits on one side of the football. Or hitting a normal ball dead center with you toe instead of side step, provided you have boots with tough toe padding

ooooiiiii that jabulani always brings a smile to my face!!!!! amazing

i think you can try nivia country colour ball it is a good football for knuckleball

A "knuckleball" effect is really just a dead ball after striking it. And the technique is literally striking it with the "knuckle" part of your big toe, minimal follow-through to avoid accidental spin on the ball. So the ball needs to be also struck very hard to get enough velocity ( to generate the turbulent air). Most the time players strike across the ball and might not realise they're doing it and the area in which your foot makes contact with the ball will matter. Best way is to just analyse the masters of the technique (Ronaldo, Bale etc).

Your voice every time you struck the jabulani ball I feel down laughing

Nice video bro i will try it my selv

"auuh, auuh, auuh, auuh, auuh' was my favorite part

The sacrifice to always retrieve the ball 💯

1:50 after every shot you hear “oahh”

Ronaldo is a real life cheat code of Knuckleball 💀

Kieran I also tried the beach balls a month ago it knuckled like crazy

i like how every time he messes he goes "UUAHH!!"

Good skills.

1:40 - 2:02 the groaning compilation is nuts

Bro you should’ve done it with the jabulini with the demon alin

This was a really good video. Why didn’t you do the demon skin on the jabelani

what is that inter top he is wearing?

Does anyone know how to get that Inter shirt at the beginning of the video?

The noise he made when hit the jabulani😂

I do 3-4 steps back and 1 to left bc I am right footed then do 1 step to ball while I am getting ready for a shoot and shoot as hard as I can with my bone in foot. Try it

For shooting knuckleballs, I think that you should use your own techniques are find ones that suit you

your videos are the best

Bro in all honesty you’re kicking technique will never make you knuckle consistently.

after every shot he says AUGH

4:01 "if you want to hit a knuckle every time thse are the balls to use" lol

What are the best football boots and best ball that are affordable.

Adidas better not steal your idea and make millions of your demon ball. Lol

That crosbar at the start👍 nice

I love how he goes "aughh" every time with the Jabulani

0:08 its ok bro your worst is far better than me 🤣🤣

it’s the boots bc i had nike ones there wore so good but with my ultras are bad

i have that same nike ball and it knuckles pretty well on its own

where to buy the auto-knuckle football

Please tell me where you got the jabulani from

HE FR SAID HE AINT GOOD WHEN I CAN'T EVEN HIT THE NET HALF THE TIME

Please make a video and review Indian nivia brand football products pls

Kieran augh counter with the jabulani: 100000

A week ago when I played with a 2014 Bazooka, I hit so many knuckleballs I could not believe it. You should try it

You should try SELECT balls. They're super light, but still work as footballs, unlike those plastic ones.

9:12 I feel like if you had arranged the devil skin in a strategic way just like the jabulani, you would have seen better results. Also love the vids man

The noises keiran made when he used the jabulani😂

I need an edit of the fish with a carrot for every time you go "euh"

Toe tap the center of the ball works like a charm mate

6:00 whats the song?

This was a cool video! Do you have any tips I could use to kick harder because I want to get better! Thanks!

I have football practice tonight maybe I can use these 😂

I loved the uh after every shot 😂😂😂

What boots do you use?

ohh every single time with the Jabulani

Omg I used to watch u like 3 yrs ago and I made a new google acc and I found u lmao

Kieran you should put Demon skin on the JP Alani

kieran after every shot "auh 😩"

1:40 Thos ‘ewa’ tho 😂

Jabulani is my favorite football ball, it simply goes whatever it wants lol

the duct tape might've worked if you had slanted the "wings" to get more lift

Where can you find the shoot 5 ball at?

To get a perfect knuckleball make the ball perfectly round

1:40 This is just an 'uuah' sound compilation 🤣🤣

the "Uah" really got me for real 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Kieran where abouts in the United Kingdom do u live, i just want know because i want to play football with you one day and my friends say im terrible at it when i play football, i can't show my skills because im too shy to show them

Kieran where did you get the shoot 5 ball ⚽️
