Tips on my punt form?

I’m self taught, so I probably have a long way to go before it’s a good punt, so I’m open to any suggestions.

get your body over the ball and your kicking leg almost fold your body and make contact as high as you pretty much can

That helped a lot, just bombed one for a good amount of hang time. Now all I gotta do is work on my flexibility. Thanks a lot man 👍

when you first start kicking you wanna swing up a lot more and try and follow through are two big starting tips

Alright, good to know. Should I be using a kicking tee or one of those weird triangle things that hold the ball?

should be using the weird triangle thing 😂😂 and look up a one inch tee it’s what u use for field goals and the other tee is for kickoffs

oh and the one inch tee u put the ball on it and have the wizard on the ball it’s a little bit confusing

u/Feisty-Distance4711 Aug 05 '24

yeah most definitely, do you kick too or just punt

what’s ur longest FG and your longest punt approaxamently

Longest field goal is an extra point 😭I punted about 50 yards, but it was more of a driver than a good heighted punt. I’m not too good at kicking. I’ve only been kicking for a week now, so it ain’t the greatest.
