I mean with the shot. I haven't shot a lot of soccer. It really didn't cross my mind to try and get the impact of a head shot. I think I will try more often now. I had no idea that the ball compressed anywhere near that much.

Nice timing. Headers are something a lot of people will shoot for because there are normally more than one person going for the ball and the faces are always interesting.

That is a nice shot, but gives me a headache. Now I know why I don't play soccer.

Wow! Awesome capture, I had no idea about that with the ball either. I imagine that must be why so many docs say to aviod heading the ball. -- Tom

The ball isn't soft by any means. I didn't feel that particular ball but the ones I kicked around seem relatively hard.
