    having curve on your shot is not a bad thing. but if you want to make it straighter sometimes, you need to make sure your foot placement is correct. where your plant foot is in relation to the ball affects that. you just have to experiment with that, because that is different for some players. also, try to get your stomach over the ball and kick using the laces. when i say get your stomach over the ball, i mean to lean over it as you're kicking. doing that while kicking with the laces and being conscious of where your plant foot is will help make your shot straighter. good luck!

    Its not the curve that is the problem, it's not knowing where the ball is going to go that is the problem. You need to practice until you can repeat the same shot each and everytime. Once you know where the ball is going to go, how it gets there isn't as important.

    That's a good thing. A straight shot is easy to deflect. Much harder for the goalie to block a curving shot. Don't fix it!

    Hit the ball in the middle and with an further down area of your foot. My new boots used to do that too. It is really annoying when it bends around the goal

    the direction of the ball depends on which part of the foot you kicking the ball with.if u want the ball to go straight then take the shot with the top of your foot.
