ball [Music] Return of the knuckleball my friends that's what we're gonna do we are going to make you a super bowler and it will be as easy as it's ever been let's go let's try that again fall Jesus Christ let's go [Music] all right so we're going to demystify the knuckleball do you know why we're gonna do that because everyone is too afraid to try and do it everyone's tried 50 different ways we're going to give you the easiest way [Applause] are you they're applauding for me now the reason they're doing that and the reason they're applauded for me is because this is the easiest way to knuckleball it is the easiest way now we're going to use two separate parts to do this there's the David Luis knuckleball and the other one is just your basic bro knuckleball so in order to do this all you have to do with adopted Luis one is what matters is ball actually you know what don't give me a ball because I don't trust them okay what matters is where you strike where you hit the ball that's all David Luis has figured out that if you hit the ball low underneath what's gonna happen is it will dip at the very least it might not knuckle as much but it will dip now on the other one what matters is only your surface area and I'm wearing the Predators today because they have a very large surface area the smaller your foot the harder it is to knuckleball this big wide surface area makes it very easy so when you're going to strike you've got to strike it right here okay same thing applies hit in right under there and you're good to go [Music] [Applause] [Music] now your approach when taking a knuckleball is very important you can see guys like Bale Ronaldo all these guys had incredibly different ways to approach the ball some of you guys can just walk straight up and some of you might want to notice the fact that every time before they strike the ball they lean forward like this they're on their toes and the reason for that is because of how when you go to strike look at my body my body's staying up and it's staying in this position because that's what you really want you want that straightness when you go to strike the ball you're not going to follow through entirely alright so this point is only about the way that you walk up you do not need to take a huge run in Sprint you might walk take a couple steps to the side walk up to it make sure that when striking the ball instead of Leaning entirely over it maybe you you stand up all right keep your body straight which goes completely against how you would normally shoot but in this time it's the knuckleball and it's the return of the knuckle let me get my sunglasses though let me get my sunglasses let me get my foreign did you guys see me ask for let's go next point now as we said we are going to demystify the entire knuckleball and we're going to give you the one thing that will make it very easy striking a ball while it's dead standing is very hard if you want to make a knuckleball happen all you've got to do is make it roll forward this slight roll forward allows you to get a perfect perfect angle for the knuckleball it's one of the easiest ways to make the ball knuckle and we'll show that to you right here not that good of a shot but uh did knuckle okay let's go ball no forget it no I don't even know [Music] that's the vid my friends you know exactly what to do make sure to check out all the links right down below from us here at unisport and week we'll see you guys next time oh
