As seen in a video from YouTuber and esports player BorasLegend, there’s a knack to beating players not everybody will know about.

All you have to do is hit R1/RB twice, in quick succession, and it will move the ball quickly past the charging defender. Just before impact, Boras suggests, is the best time to execute the skill.
