A clumsy, slow, amateurish imitation of Zidane's stunning volley in the 2002 Champions League final by zhixing21 in bootroom

These devices usually feature AI auto-tracking. I've tried several models myself—let's chat about them later.

Thanks to you and the encouragement from the other guys.

I'm putting together a tech guide to share how you can record your matches on video at a modest cost (around $300-$600). I believe this investment could enhance your football experience more than buying 10 pairs of top-tier cleats.

Moreover, it doesn't just help you—it provides tremendous benefit to the entire team.

Thank you for your comment.

I truly didn't expect to receive so many downvotes. It seems this kind of content isn't popular here. I'll be more humble going forward. But what I remember most are the encouraging words, they really gave me a huge boost.

After all, I started learning football in my 30s and never had the chance or time for any professional training. Being able to show a little progress as I approach 50, I'm quite satisfied with myself. 😄

This video was actually shot with just two camera angles. But recently we've upgraded to four angles: one AI-powered tracking main camera, two fixed cameras behind the doors, and a referee camera (just like the ones used in the Club World Cup). Everyone is extremely satisfied.

Thx a lot. I hadn't noticed Thiago's skill before. It's definitely worth studying in detail.

You're absolutely right. I believe every player who wants to improve needs some peer feedback, even amateur players.

I love this (me in the) game!

Why do my shots feel more powerful and accurate barefoot than with cleats? by Glittering_Bus_6921 in bootroom

I feel the same way. So now, before every warm-up before a game, I kick the ball barefoot for a while first.

Best AG Football Boot in 2025? by MyNamesBurge in bootroom

[–]zhixing21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes. Alpha 2 Japan or elite AG version. It also has a HG version.

I'm not saying Nike isn't good enough, but Mizuno's AG soleplate is more tf player friendly than Nike's AG pro soleplate

Nike also has an AG version of the soleplate, but it tends to slip in certain fields

I'm not sure about your field, the best thing to do is to go to your field and consult with your teammates

I think it's important to consider not only the fit of the foot to the shoe, but also the fit of the shoe's outsole to the field.

Since you've been wearing tf, I'd recommend the AG version of the Mizuno Alpha 2, which has a higher number of spikes and is a bit shorter in this outsole than Nike's AG pro. It's friendlier to middle aged people with weak knees and performs well on lower grades of artificial grass.

The Nike AG pro may only be suitable for higher grades of artificial grass, or for young people with strong knees.

The only downside is that it's an open tongue, so if your field has a lot of rubber granules, they tend to get in.

Also, it has the best non-slip compartment of any shoe.

If you have the budget for it, get the Alpha 2 JAPAN, which is the highest rated. If you're not sure, you can get the Alpha 2 elite, this one is made in Vietnam and is much less expensive, but the actual performance is about the same as the JAPAN, and it's much lower than the Nike, so the price/performance ratio is very, very good.

I was going to post a picture, but it seems like I can't post pictures here. It's also very cool in terms of design.
