传球是重中之重，没有传球，前锋拿不到球，”再好的菜也做不出来“。
传球大体上分两部分：5到3, 后卫到前锋的传球。往细致了分还有很多比如单打中各杆给自己的传球。

第一部分：5到3
1. Brush
按照这篇文章里的来练习：
http://www.foosballheaven.com/faqs/brush-passing.txt
Among almost all types of tables, the strategy of being able to shoot a quick wall _or_ lane pass from the _same_ position (and having the skill to catch such a fast pass) is universal.
传球点：
Remember you want to have the option of either wall-passing or lane-passing. Ideally then, you want to start the pass exactly between the wall and the lane. So figure this area out by watching the near man's range of motion as you push and pull the rod all the way. The general center of this left-right distance is where you will begin your pass.
（记住你想要有同时做wall和lane的可能性，所以最理想的点在1的活动距离的中间点）

The Brush Series
Ron Olson 8/21/06 (ezboard)
1. The setup-(setting the ball up for the brush)
Many players do this off the back pin with the 2nd man. The setup is the most important part of this series. The ball must roll over to the 1st man slow. When you finally make your pass it should be almost stopped or just have stopped. *RARELY* you can set the ball up fast and hit a wall or lane. That pass is called a "RUNNER". It's more of a guess, maybe you've seen they're on the wall everytime when you're getting ready to set up, and that's when you take advantage of that.
1a. Use the sides of man #1 to keep the ball moving once it's slowing down. You can use the sides of the men all you want and still pass it without having to touch another man. Even bounce it off the wall with the 1st man and still you can pass with him.
2. The ball must be back far. A little ahead of where it would get pinned. The farther back the ball is, the steeper you can brush it. You must be able to brush steep from near the wall, and deep to the wall from farther out. That gives you the range you need to be deadly.
3. Be patient. You should be using 2 walls and 10 seconds on 90% of your passes. Learn to brush while the ball is rolling TOWARD the wall, and AWAY from the wall, so they NEVER know when it's coming.
Note from bbtuna - not everyone feels the 2 walls 10 seconds...you want to mix it up, toss speed, going to the wall and not going to the wall, passing before the wall and as the ball is coming off the way, pass at 1 second and 2 and 3, all the way to 10...these things are as important as varying where you start your pass - generally you want to use the clock but be careful not to fall into a patern because to a good defender, knowing when you are going can be as helpful as know what spot you are going to start from or if you are going to go lane or wall
4. Hover over the ball! The hovering should be as wide as the top of the ball, and you should be able to throw fakes. Now here is the most important part of a brush-YOU MUST STAY CLOSE TO THE BALL WITH THE MAN WHILE HOVERING! Of course if you touch it, you have to touch a 2nd man before making your pass or you've made an illegal adjustment, so try not to touch it like that, but you must stay close. Learn to hover fast AND slow.
NEVER raise the man higher over the ball than you were hovering while passing. I call it "chopping". Don't chop it! The real motion of the rod during a brush is not so much a forward motion with the man but a pull or push of the rod. If you're brushing up, the rod should touch the far wall to ensure a good follow through. The same goes for the brush down. End on the near wall.
These are the biggest keys to a brush pass. Learn to pass hard and it's gonna take 1000's of them to get them tournament ready, but it's a great series.

Here are a couple of tips on 5 man passing. These are some things to think about that may help you develop a better passing series. These are in no particular order but, just some things you may want to consider.
1. Do you have a plan each match depending on who your playing. Is it someone you have played a lot in the past that knows your game well? Do they know what you favor and what your strengths and weaknesses are? If it's someone you've only played once or twice do you remember what you had success or didn't have success with last time? You can bet that they'll be trying to do the same thing. Especially if it was recent.
If you've never played them before your going to want to kind of feel the situation out by starting with your strengths and making adjustments from there.
2. Pay attention to how they react to certain movements/fakes, etc throughout the match. You might find something that they really fall for and will want to maybe save that for a big point or points when you really need it. You may also chose to just beat them over the head with it until they figure it out. Sometimes they never do which leads me to my next point.
3. Don't make adjustments just for the sake of making adjustments. Make them adjust to you. Todd Loffredo said once. " You know what the best adjustment is sometimes?" "No adjustment!"
You would be surprised at the number of players killing someone with a certain shot or pass or Defense and then all of a sudden they are doing something else. You ask them about it and they say something like "I didn't want to get too predictable" or "I was worried they were going to start block that pass or shot". I can't stress enough not to adjust unless the situation dictates it. Duh! Right!
4. Have options to your passing series that blend well with each other and look the same but, have different results. It could be as simple as varying the speed of the toss on a brush pass or the spot you brush it at. Make sure you can set them up the same and have the same comfort level with all of them. If you can't perform it at a high consistency level it's a worthless pass. Also, don't use the pass unless the situation dictates it. It's important to understand why your doing a certain pass. When is this option effective and when is it not? If your just randomly throwing in options to mix things up then thats all your results will bef. Random.
5. Most important of all on the five row is ball control. Whether you move the ball around a lot, fast or slow you need to have superior ball control. It dictates your ability to get the ball where you want it the first time and not have to struggle to find the "sweet spot". It also helps your confidence level. This is especially important on big points where you need to be able to do everything as if it were second nature. If you have to think about execution your going to have problems under pressure.
There is a lot more to five row passing but, this is a start and hopefully this will help some people out. The 5 row is the single most important rod on the table in my opinion so, I recommend doubling or even tripling your practice on this rod compared to any other.
Happy foosing

3. Stick pass
http://www.foosball.com/content.php?page=102
2. You sort of push or scoop the ball through when you get good. All the power comes from the follow through. You want to practice passing the ball faster? Place the ball on the table under the 5-bar near the #1 figure. Put your #1 figure behind the ball ALMOST touching it. Without rearing up at all, slide the ball to your 3-bar. Always practice the catch when you do this. Do this 100 times a day and you will get quick, hard, fast and the ball will seem to spring off your otherwise motionless 5-bar.
第二部分：Goalie to 3
Almost all goalies pass to their forwards at least occasionally. The problem with many goalies is that they take it for granted that their forward knows which pass is coming and when. I recommend that you always signal your forward before you pass. Some goalies will tap their forward on the foot. This is okay, but the forward still isn't sure which pass you will try. Also, there is the chance that the other team will pick up your signal. If you have a steady partner, work out a simple method of signaling. It could be the number of times you bounce the ball off the wall, fake, or even pin the ball in certain positions. You'll find that, if your forward knows which pass is coming and when, your percentage of passes completed will begin to increase.

1. Lane Passing
Once the opposition has realized that they now have to cover the lane, the goalie's offense can again begin to open up. The thing that you need to remember is that the passing won't work until the goalie has established a real shooting threat to the opposition. I find it to be a lot like the game of football. Once a defense realizes that the other teams offensive can't pass, then the defense only has to worry about stopping the run or vise versa. On the other hand, if the offense has established both a running and passing game, then the defense is in for a long day, because now they have to worry about stopping both. It doesn't really matter what offensive weapon that a goalie uses (pulls, push, push-kick, toes, banks,...) As long as a scoring threat has been established, then the passing should be there.
open passing lane to the front which is made possible because of the potential pull shot
After the passing threat has been made, the opposition now has to worry about covering the lane thus allowing the shooting lane to be sometimes open
2. Wall passing
Over the years I have discovered that the wall pass from the goalie to the front three is a very effective pass. However, it does require some portion of skill and foos knowledge. Some skill is require because the ball has to travel almost the total length of the table along the wall with a great deal of speed and accuracy. Because you're pointing towards the wall and away from the hole when doing this pass, the defense can quickly pick up on what you are doing, thus blocking the pass. The trick is you have to try to hide this type of pass, and that's where experience and knowledge come into play.
the far wall pass
3. Passing along the far wall
When passing towards the far wall, you can either push or toe the ball. The toe pass in this case is easier to hide because you can either do a toe shot or pass; However, in a tournament game toe-passing or pin-passing might be prohibited. On the other hand, the push pass to the wall is much easier to spot so it must be done extremely fast. I find it that most players who do used this pass prefer to do it on the far wall so that they can better see what they are doing and to better hide it from their opponents.
the near wall pass
4. Passing along the near wall
When passing to the near wall, you can either used a toe or a pull pass. The same principles that applied to a pass towards the far wall are applied here. However, passing alone the near wall is harder to see and is partly done instinctively, thus making it a lease popular pass to used. I rarely pass along the near wall.
Another type of wall pass that is used is the combo-wall-pass. However, this pass is very rarely used especially in doubles. I think the reason is that the ball has to travel a greater distance from one place to other and the chances of turning the ball over are greater. When playing single, I used this pass quiet frequently because when I play single, I avoid shooting from the back. I prefer to stay up front and pass from the goalie position with my left hand. When doing this, I mostly used a toe pass or a combo pass.
5. 守门员到前锋传球
http://www.saskfoos.com/view_topic.asp?ParentID=58754&x=9&domain=SAS&searchterm=
Randy Price, and Joe Clark are two goalies that come to mind. Neither of them have blistering shots, but are smart and feed their partners very well. It then opens up easier shots because you cannot afford to have the opposing forward get easy possessions on the 3 bar.
