Does the plant leg have to come off the ground? Because my punting style is more grounded, my plant leg doesnt tend to leave the ground unless I swing really hard. My coach stresses that I make my plant leg leave the ground, but it just feels unnatural to force my plant leg to come off the ground and often times, when I do it, it results in a crappy punt. I sort of base my punting style off of J.K. Scott of the Packers, where he's able to bring his ankle pretty much up to the top of his helmet without his plant foot ever leaving the ground. Now, my leg doesn't quite go that high, but it goes kinda high and my plant leg never leaves the ground and this works just fine for me. Yeah, I'm wondering does my plant leg have to leave the ground if I want to increase distance and hangtime? Thanks.
You can increase your hang time with the jump. It puts more force into it so it will go higher. Distance may also come with that extra force, watch Johnny Hekker in games
this really helped thanks
I’ve played inside of that place for a youth football tourney in minnesota
