Description[]

This is a shot which uses a forward spin to propel the ball downward at the net.

Tsubasa NAN (RONC) 0 — In Rise of New Champions

This shot makes an unusual curve, going up, then falling towards the goal: this is due to the drive effect, a rotation effect much harder to perform than a side rotation effect^[2]. A ball goes up naturally when shooting, by bending the body, it'll be on target, the next step to perfect the Drive Shot is to use a drive effect^[2].

Although the effect is hard to master, the shot has many advantages. First of all, it can go above an unaware keeper^[2]. Secondly, it can go over a wall of field players, during the game or for a free kick, while most of the other shots would need, at the very least, a free spot^[3]. And lastly, the drive rotation effect is also adding strength to the shot in addition to the player's natural shooting power^[3].

Etymology[]

The Drive Shot has different names for the Latin American dub: Tiro sudamericano, Tiro de remate, Tiro con efecto and Tiro con chanfle, while in the Brazilian dub it is known as Chute de trivela. In the Italian dub it is known as Tiro ad effetto (literally, "Effect shot"), (Pallonetto effettato [literally, "Effect lob"] in the 2001 TV series) and Tiro guidato (which is a literal translation of "Drive Shot") in the 2018 TV series, which is the translation used on the Italian localization of various Captain Tsubasa media such as Dream Team, ZERO and Rise of New Champions.
