how do you aim shots?

i know this is kind of a stupid question, but it does my head in working out how to aim shots in PES3.

Say i'm running left to right, towards the goal (normal side on camera)

And i want to shoot in the bottom right hand corner of the net from about 25 yards with the ball curling to the left so the keeper can't get to it (as you may or may not be able to see in my diagram..)

Which direction would i hold on the pad, and how long would i hold shoot? I'm thinking i'd have to hold diagonal down and forward while powering up to aim at the right corner, use about 1/4 power, and then push up on the joypad (towards left hand touchline) when i let go of the shoot button to get the curl, but when i do this i usually end up shooting high and wide, or in a completely different direction to the one i wanted..

in short, i can't get my head around it!

Well, it is a bit easy to say you should go to the practice ground, right?
The way I do it, is just aiming to five o'clock, so to say (3 o' clock is aiming straight at the middle of the goal). Than, after releasing the shoot-button I aim to twelve o' clock for curl.
Remember, you don't shoot harder if you keep pressing the shoot button, you shoot higher!
The speed of the ball will be influenced by how fast you run and the shooting power ablity.
So if you want to shoot hard and low, just sprint and tap (very shortly, like you burn your finger ) the shoot button. That keeps it low

EDIT: Forgot to say; I use the left analog stick to aim, that's why I can aim at 5 o' clock.

thanks, i tried what you said and my first goal was a superb 25 yard free kick by C.Ronaldo with the outside of his right foot afer 6 minutes of a 3-2 golden goal win over Ajax. This was only on 2* though so i am still pretty rubbish at the game!
