MILLIMETERS

One millimeter, approximately 1/32nd of an inch, can make or break.

One millimeter offset on either side of the orange sphere:

• Makes a wall pass a chip pass
• Begets a pull-setup strait or a goal-edge failure
• Produces the frustrating block versus the exciting pull-short
• Provides a "Tell" to your opponent

Specific millimeters offset from the center of the foosball:

• Sets up precise aim for your bank-shots

One millimeter further forward:

• Insures a stick pass
• Front-pin (euro) straight vs front-pin angle, or perhaps the whiff

One millimeter further back:

• Creates a square-pull versus a spray-pull
• Generates velocity
• Manufactures the unstoppable brush
• Results in a rocketing strike of the pull or push, the pull-kick or the push-kick
• Gives your bank-shot lightning speed

One millimeter too far back:

• Potentially turns the five-man tic-tac into an embarrassing turnover
• or the two-man tic-tac into a self-score
• Causes a pull-shot stub (ouch)

Careful consideration of the millimeter improves your game, your chance to shine, your self esteem, and most likely money in your pocket. What are your millimeter ghosts?
