This is how to decide 👇
Two ways to deal with a top-corner rocket 🚀🧤
🖐️ Far Arm (across your body)
✔️ More reach = better for higher shots just out of range
✔️ Helps when you’re already diving across goal
⚠️ Takes a fraction longer to get there
✋ Near Arm (closest to the ball)
✔️ Quicker to react = great for sharp, close-range shots
✔️ Keeps your body shape more balanced
⚠️ Lower reach, so won’t cover as much of the top corner
Neither is ‘wrong’ — it’s about situation and style. The best keepers train both so they can adapt in the moment.
