The     Ground    AKKA

Step     Three
Lastly,     kick     the     soccer    ball     gently     through     the     gap     of     your     opponent.

Soccer Cleats : Blades v.s Studs part 2

Hello there, Heikal here. I hope you had an enjoyable day. Today, we will look at the blades of the soccer cleats or football boots. So, let us begin



Surface
Firstly, the surface of the boot have more blades which are closer from one to another. This would penetrate and hold onto the surface which gives an ultimate grip. Then, what kind of condition is it suitable for?




Condition
The grounds that are firm and sometimes hard for example, on a dry soccer pitch or on a sand pitch or an astro turf.




Weather
Thirdly, a dry weather is more suitable for this kind of boots. Although, from experience, a slight drizzle might work just fine as well.



Moving on, let us look at some benefits




Grip
Firstly, the more blades means the more grip you have on the surface. Also, this would be easier to initiate runnings and movements.




Balance
Second, followed from above. This gives a soccer player more balance which ideally good for ball control, dribbling and as well as defending.



But there is a potential risk




Turning
First, the danger of having more grip could result in more difficult to twist and turn. This is usually the case in off-the-ball situations for example when marking or when looking for a space.



The impact could be severe on the knee-joints for example.



So, it is extremely important to work on your techniques in running and movement especially when using this type of soccer cleats or football boots for the first time.



Finally, it is common nowadays for any player at any levels. Personally, I wear them when playing five a-side games on an astro turf whether for fun or for serious competition.



Lastly, this is the final part. So hopefully it would be beneficial to you before starting to buy.



Would   love   your   comments.   Bye, enjoy your day and soccer!

Soccer Cleats: Blades v.s Studs Part 1

Hello   there,   I   am   Heikal.   Hope   you   had   an   interesting   day.



Today,   I   would   like   to   respond   to   one   of   my   friend's   problem.   The   difference   between   using   studs   and   blades.   So,   in   the   first   part,   we   will   have   a   closer   look   on   what   studs   are   for   the   soccer   or   football   boots.



Then,    let    us    look    at    some    beneficial    points:



Surface
Firstly,    notice    on    the    image    below.    The    gap    between    the    studs    are    far    from    another.    This    allows    it    to     penetrate    into    a    softer    surface    thus    giving    more    grip    to    the    soccer     player.    So,    under     what     condition?



Condition
Secondly,    the    soft     ground    normally    derives    from     the    wet    weather    conditions    like    rain,    drizzles,     fog    and    perhaps    snow.



From    experience,    it    is    more    suitable    in     Europe     since    the    condition    is    always    wet    during    winter    times    except    in    the    summer.



Weight
Then,     thirdly,    the    pair    of    boots    or    cleats    are    likely    to    be     light-weight    relative    to     the    soccer    cleats    with    blades.     This     is     because     there    are    fewer    studs,    normally     there     are    six    of    them.




But,    there    are    some    risks    to    be    aware    of



Injury-Prone
There    are    fewer    studs    meaning    less    grip    when     running    in     situations     like     cutting    across    the    marker.    As    a    result,     the    player    could     fall    and    may    prone    to    unnecessary     injury.



Therefore,    as    a    soccer    player    or    freestyle,    it    is     advisable    to    be    careful    with    one's     movement    and     steps     with     the    ball.



This    takes    practice.    Hopefully    that's    beneficial.    Stay    on    the    look    out    for    Part     Two.    Bye     and     enjoy    your    soccer!
