Experimenting.

Things to experiment with;

1.
When running forward and then kicking with the keyboard controls,
the ball will often bounce off your side and go off to the left.
It is hard to predict and control.

I've found that if you use MouseLook and aim upward, the ball will not hit
your side and will go in a more predictable direction.


2.
Defence.
In Tuesdays practice I tried standing still in the path of the attacker,
waiting for for him to come near me, then suddenly pressing the forward and sliding keys. This seemed to be very effective. (I use MouseLook)
