Hulk is known for having one of the most powerful shots in football — but the number everyone repeats isn’t actually the full story. His “official” fastest free kick is listed at 119 km/h, and for years that never sat right with me. This past week, one of his freekicks went directly into the wall.. which happened to be the last piece I needed to solve the mystery. Here's the math: In football, the wall is 9.15 meters away. Broadcast clip = 30 fps. The ball takes 7 frames to travel those 9.15 meters. That's 9.15/0.233 = 39.21 m/s. Converted (x3.6) = 141.2 km/h, or 87.7 mph -- more than 20 km/h faster than his "official" record. Sometimes the real number is hiding in plain sight 👀✔ #football #soccer #hulk #freekick #shotpower #analysis #brazil #futbol #brasileirao
