The world's best finishers - the likes of American Alex Morgan and Englishman Harry Kane - have something in common: Each knows that for every perfect, thrilling set ball goal, there are dozens of toe taps, heel flicks and hits off the outside of the foot. The value on the score sheet is the same, and the most proficient scorers come equipped with a nose for a goal and a litany of skills for converting their opportunities.
'My finishing is a balance between power and placement,' says USWNT star Alex Morgan. 'It depends where I am in the box, but I'd say my focus is usually 60/40 accuracy versus power.'
That style of finishing is why the design of the PhantomVNM features a series of textured zones to facilitate a powerful strike, but with an understanding that all of the power in the world won't score without the accuracy to keep the shot on goal. This emphasis is most evident in the instep's Precision Pwr strike zone.
