[PSUtotheBCS]

@needle444 No thats how i practice punting

its also an exersize to help strech you hamstring.

[jrazzam]

@needle444 you must be retarded needledick444 cuz he obviously is not trying to kick it

[needle444]

@jrazzam Ooh, Havn't heard that before...

Well, Sense you can't do anything about it you'll just have to develope a sense of humor.

[FattyMcMurder]

You may think your good right now but when you get into higher levels your punting style may or may not be good. Hes telling you the proper mechanics. Leg straight, dont over step laces up, etc. I would like to see you explain how to punt a football instead of moaning about how hes doing it wrong. So people stop bitching

[BassWes4String]

Hi I'm a very good punter on my hiigh school team and i took your tips to try and get better and i tried to see if they helped....they proved not to be healping but i stuck with it. If it werent for me listening to your shitty video i would be an amazing punter still you just ruined my machanics...thanks asswhipe

[ArmourDubs]

Oh your supposed to drop the ball before your kick it? I was kicking it and THEN dropping it. Thanks...

[0Bay0bay0]

This is football not soccer! get it right

[mymomsaboy]

@mcaru2 most the time i kick it 80 yards.

[vic55jets]

@mymomsaboy bullshit..

[mymomsaboy]

@vic55jets your just jealous.

[vic55jets]

@mymomsaboy i'm my high school punter and i can only kick it 47 with an average hang time of 4.5 seconds so why would i be

[mymomsaboy]

@vic55jets Because i can kick it about 80+ yards for a hang time of 8 seconds.

[callmePachitti]

@mymomsaboy HAHA! Ya right.

[SuperGordinator]

@vic55jets ,.im a middle school punter and i can kick it 45 yards.

[vic55jets]

@SuperGordinator prolly if you are over 6 foot

[CJSB7]

@SuperGordinator with or wthout bounce. my farthest with bounce is 52

[mrdonnelly454]

kook watch afl kickers

[dkitty8124]

um...just watch ray guy punt to get schooled

[churo12345]

meneame la pululunga

[iSuPeRMaZiNg]

If you want to know their average throwing rates look up the combines.

[Crazeybiker]

Really some goalkeepers suck at kicking the ball!

[mr10dinho]

@Crazeybiker yeah because americans cant play socca!

[vecrid]

@mr10dinho wtf is socca?

[mr10dinho]

@vecrid What??

[Musicamillion]

@vecrid SOCCER

[661EASTON89]

lol that dude said he can throw 200 yards wtf? the average qb in the NFL throws around 60-65 yards

[kansasjayhawkman]

ya during games 60-65 is just the point when they lose their accuracy, but they can trow much farther

[661EASTON89]

@kansasjayhawkman nah i saw the QB competitions and their averages were 60-65 just throwing it their hardest without aiming...i think one QB had a 72 i forget who it was though

[BARNICALBALLS]

2 years ago a pro football QB threw the ball 100yds from one enzone to the other while kneeling...QBs can deffenetly throw about 200 in accurately. my highschool QB could throw 100yds

[661EASTON89]

@BARNICALBALLS jay cutler threw a ball 60 yards while kneeling man...the farthest ball ever thrown in an NFL game was 73 yards dude 100 yards and 200 yards is not going to happen thats too far...sorry

[661EASTON89]

i havent been able to punt or kick good since i broke my ankle =\ my foot isnt as flexible

[dustin73bb]

30 yards is alot dumbass

[BARNICALBALLS]

i can kick 70 yards only 30 short of 100 and i still wont be pro?"chargers722" you need to punt under pressure and not just kick straight the punter has to aim the ball so it falls just short of goin outta bounds. with the win on his best day i bet he has. idk about consitantly anytime he wants

[pdunn99999]

nice math

[hawesinator]

no you cant liar

[FordCopChrist1995]

I need to try this some time. The video kinda helps.

[Edstevensderk]

he said heighth lmao

[Seal481]

...please be a troll.

[chargers722]

if you could punt 100 yard youd be pro so pretty easy to tell you lying

[Airbornerock]

im 10 i run a 4'1 40 yard dash, i throw 200 yards. dumbass

[Machx72]

No you don't. Dan Marino couldn't even throw 200 yards, you most certainly can't.

[basebull]

Ok, expertvillage usually sucks, but this video is actually one of the better ones I have seen. You are not JUST stating the obvious.

[123thatoneguy]

yup gonna play jv football woo!

[joey5picks]

Wow. Some of you girls are really getting your panties in a bunch over a punt.

[trevormcdonald2]

ha ha i know right

[trevormcdonald2]

u guys serious my average is like 40 yards per punt and im in 8th grade! and im like only 5 ft 2 btw my farthest pint was 70 yards

[emerica245]

bullshit, someone of your size could not do that. im a punter, and 6', and ive never done 70. liar

[trevormcdonald2]

ok well considerin that i have played socer 4 9 years im pretty sure that i could get it 60 yards plus the fact that the wind was really strong that day so yea im tellin the truth i swear

[emerica245]

ok, soccer is nothing like football, so dont even talk shit if u dont even play the sport

[trevormcdonald2]

ok well this is my 3rd year playin and im the best punter in my district so yea it doesnt take much knoledge to punt it u just need a good leg

[emerica245]

ok, bullshit, u just said u played soccer.

[trevormcdonald2]

that doesnt mean i cant play football

[emerica245]

so, u never played football, and u just said u played for 3 years....... punting a soccer ball is a lot different than punting a football. btw, u would get killed if u tried to play. liar.

[trevormcdonald2]

what? no i have played football 4 3 years this is my 3rd year and no im pretty buff on my team and 4 my size im huge and i am the 2nd fastest in my school and i do not go down easily it at least takes 2 guys dependin if they r big or not to tackle me

[emerica245]

you said "that doesnt mean i cant play football". that means u dont! and why does it say your occupation is soccer?? you couldnt pay a football player to write that about themselves. i know u dont play, stop lying.

[trevormcdonald2]

wow just cause i write somethin doesnt mean its true i play soccer and football and im good at both

[emerica245]

trust me, there is no one who plays soccer and football. football players make fun of soccer players, a football player would rather brake his own arm than play soccer.and i doubt u even know the mechanics to punting. trust me, i know football. you obviously do not

[trevormcdonald2]

ok well yea i play both and theyr both fun and yea i know how to punt and u cant get it perfect every time especially every time cause ur bein rushed and as 4 kickin field goals i can kick it over the uprights and 4 kickoffs i can kick it out of the endzone lots of my friends play both soccer and football and are good at both but what ur tryin to say is that since im not very tall i cant kick it far?

[emerica245]

yea, that is what im sayin. a 5'2 person cant punt the ball 70 yards, u have to be tall to do that. i dont believe your friends play both soccer and football either, thats extremely unlikely, and would never happen.

[trevormcdonald2]

ok dude u can belive all this stuff im sayin or not u dont have 2 but if u were to ask any1 on my football team or any 1 in high school they would tell u that i kicked it 70 yards

[trevormcdonald2]

ok dude u can belive it or not u dont have to but if u were to ask any1 in my grade thats on the football team or any1 thats in high school that was on the football team they would say i kicked it 70 yards but what im wonderin is why u were on this vid if u say that ur like the best punter ever

[emerica245]

i said i was good, i didnt say i was the a pro. i am trying to get tips to maximize my hang time and distance.

[starsandbarsDixie]

You're full of shit. A 5'2" person can!

It doesn't matter how big you are dumbshit. You're the most ignorant son of a bitch I've ever seen on Youtube. It's about how fast the snap of your leg is from when your leg is "cocked" to the point of impact on the ball. Raphael Garcia at GW High School 10 years ago was 5'3", 106 lbs. and punted an average of 57 yards with 4.7 second hangtime, and had all but 2 kickoffs a touchback. Until you learn something about football, shut up.

[emerica245]

u dont even play football you fuckin faggot. you dont know how to punt i bet, i have a jv coach teaching me, and he said it is a lot harder for a shorter punter to get leverage to kick the ball, beacause of short legs. the kicker would have to have very strong legs, like rapheal garcia. it's unusual to have that short of a punter is what im saying, and the kid i was arguing with played soccer, but thought he could kick a football, but had never tried it.

[trevormcdonald2]

ok? u just elevate the ball at thigh height and u just bought yourself at least 30 yards minimum

[trevormcdonald2]

ok thx 4 sharin bitch

[thelittleb3ast19]

No way in hell you can kick it out of the endzone.

Prove me wrong

[Mavav12]

your retarded i play soccer and football. i play defensive end in football and fullback in soccer. the other football players dont tease me

[emerica245]

your retarted. who replys to a 4 month old comment. and i bet they do tease you

[starsandbarsDixie]

You're an idiot too. It does take knowledge to punt. Everyone on Youtube, except for a few, are just plain ignorant.

[trevormcdonald2]

ok all u do is tilt it slightly to one side take ur opposite foot take step then strong foot then hold it at the middle of ur thigh height then kick it on the middle of ur foot

[trevormcdonald2]

well it takes some yea

[archansx]

im sure most of the soccers players ..specially the goalkeepers can be good punter or kickers , because of the leg strength

[pbmaniac51]

im a goalkeeper and decided to gget back on football. my coach wants me as a punter because he saw how high and far i can punt a soccer ball. he knows i have the ability to punt a football the same distance, or close to it

[1609MARCO]

IM A FRESHMAN AND MY AVERAGE IS 35 YARDS

[guitarspring]

im a freshman and mine was 35 without spiral i learned a week ago how now my average is 45!

[TheVifgutt93]

stupid voice

[applesauce2013]

i wish he would just kick the ball. jeez.

[BuffaloBillCody987]

@applesauce2013 If he just kicked the football you wouldn't learn anything

[zr21]

average punt for meh is 30 yrds.... im getting there...

[nathanaeltavares1]

how old?

[elcoyote12910]

i mean these would help alot more if they actually kicked it all this talking doesnt really help its funny cuz people post alot of comments and they still dont listen haha

[mtavares92]

@elcoyote12910 it does help actually... if you're looking for perfection then you must pay attention to all the details around the art of punting the football.

By just looking at the kick itself, u'll learn nothing

[DrEdwards4]

my high school kicking coach tells me you're not supposed to drop the ball but insted bring the ball to your foot by not dropping it until your leg is on the front swing and close to the ball will someone ( someone who knows what they are talking about ) tell me if this is correct?

[derekman342]

actually, bringing it to your foot with your hand causes more room for error because your hand may graze it as you strike it with your foot. You should actually hold the ball as if you are shaking someones hand, and as you start your upswing relax your fingers and let the ball go. If dropped correctly onto the ground it should bounce straight back up towards you.

[TerribleThree]

great vid one thing that you can do in this vidio is buy or borrow 5 or 6 footballs and actualy kick the football

[jimyngudallas]

im 14 an i cant punt for shit... so i stick with running

[YellowJackets26]

if u wana see a year punter let me no n il show u some of my highlights

[1beanerz1]

yah i just kick awesome

[lsufreak08]

Im tryin to be a good punter for my school. im about 5'4 so im not that tall. My kicks are only about 20 25 I think Im doing something wrong.. any advice on what I can do to make it further. I can get it high just not far

[bacbodyspray]

wtf are u in middle school or something

[HjarterEss]

Just change trajectory into one you like.

[steveosawesome1234]

20 yds lololololololol ahahahahhahaha

[muddingkid]

u dont swing your leg unless u want it to go all crazy this is a bunch of bull crap

[lsufreak08]

what kind of cleats should I use to punt in high school?Can somebody let me know..

[TN615NASHVILLE]

Soccer Clits May Be Good

[CHRiiSTiiNEZ]

LOLZ. Clits =]

[BIRDONASATTILITEDISH]

Or just football cleats...

[12argrigsby]

I punt with soccer cleats. Anything with a solid top should work. I like side laces.

[ajaxfan34]

i came here to watch football... not faggotball... this is for gays...

[bacbodyspray]

u didnt actually move anywhere idiot

[ajaxfan34]

You didn't atually make any sense, fag.

[ohiostatsbuckeye]

bull fucking shit you do not swing your leg you just go start

[notsurbutsur]

I dont get how you get the ball to spiral...

[gators1106]

lots of practice. I play soccer and what not and started kicking a football all the time. when i learned you could do it i just did it over and over again until i finally found out how. It takes a lot of practice for me to keep it constant and consistent though

[krazykayaker82]

i agree it does

what works for me is i get 3 of my nfl size balls and head to my hs or hs practice fields and i don't take any steps and don't kill the ball just stand straight, bring your leg back, and gentely comeback and kick the ball about 10-15yds, i also hold the ball at an angle out in front of me tilted to the left

my result when i take my steps and my form is about usually 38-42 yds and up, my longest being a 58 with a 6yd bounce

15years old, freshman in hs

positions:

te, lg, oslb, p

[gators1106]

that's usualy the best way for me to start is going slow and getting into it.. if I try to just start drilling them i never get it right! i haven't practiced it in months eithe so i can't get it right either way lol.. hard to find people that want to go out and chase a ball for an hour:-p

[trevormcdonald2]

well if ur accurate its not a prob

[gators1106]

it does make a really big difference in your hangtime and distance if you can learn how to do it.

[notsurbutsur]

I get the spiral every so often (not very often) and feel like it happens when I give my kicking foot a slight outside in "flip" as I bring it to straight ankle lock. Is this something punters do or am I just being totally unorthodox...which I tend to be due to some strange mechanics I have, generally speaking. Thanks for the feedback.

[gators1106]

hmm, i'm not sure on that one lol.. watching the kickers kick at uf they go up to it straight and just BAM he's really an amazing punter Gator fan or not it's crazy how high and far he kicks.. I've practiced with people that do what you say and noticed it works but i don't think you can get consistent like that.. that's what punting is about too is consistency. try finding a kicking camp around you or someone that really knows what's going on in the sport that's the best thing lessons!

[WISCBOUND12]

yea led the fva conference in wisconsin in punting as a sophmore with 52.1 yards average

[tedep88]

Give Me Tips Please!!

[linebacker054]

im 4 years old and punt the ball 123.3567 yards and it has 9 mins of hangtime, im like the ray lewis of punting.

[ihatehomos]

sweet dude

you have GREAT potential!

[zachsteinberg]

im 11 years old and i can punt the ball 65 yards with 6 seconds of hangtime. is that good?

[pokemonmaster481]

HOLY CRAP! YES THATS GOOD!

[linebacker054]

lies

[tedep88]

BULLSHIT!!!!

[randymoss54]

yo can u give me some tips on punting?

[akaka333333]

hahaha i punted 50 yards for about 6 second today at my football game:P

[akaka333333]

im 14 and i punt about 50 yards is that good?

[NenZ777]

thats good

[SnApSowns]

AGE :11 AVG 35:45 first time i punted i got 35 is that good

[SnApSowns]

AGE

[nobullfilm]

My Stats Age 13

Avg punt 20-30 Yards

Longest Idk havent really measured my longest

[cody474]

my stats:

age:14

average punt 46

longest 56

first time punting in a game i made 50 yard punt

is that good?

[buzzafire12]

wE dude u cant punt 85 yrds if so ud be in the record books and in the Nfl

[tedep88]

dude awesome vid im 13 and i came from 37 yards and a 2.45 hang time to 52.60 yards with a 5.35 hang time

[amerikanerMarinen]

..what the hell? in how long?

[tedep88]

like 6 weeks and i worked out alot

[amerikanerMarinen]

"37 yards and a 2.45 hang time to 52.60 yards with a 5.35 hang time"

Okay, first off. 37 yards and 2.45 is considered a less than average punt for a senior in high school. They average maybe 45 yards a punt with a 4.0 second hang time, give or take.

To be 13 and go to an average of a 52 yard punt and FIVE point three five second hang time is absolutely unbelievable. Especially in 6 weeks. You might wanna go to a marked field.

[tedep88]

i did i practiced practicl every day

[amerikanerMarinen]

There's no way you are 13 years old, punt an average of 53 [rounded] yard punt with a 5 [rounded] second hangtime.

I'm a redshirt in college. Not one punter, or even a whole lot in the NFL, average that sort of punt, unless you're Sav Rocca.

[gvbigman1]

none of you have punted over 50 yds. why arent you in the nfl if youve had an 85 yd. punt

[OS4M4BINH1D1N]

couldn't been with the wind off a mountain

[vintageracer89]

I beg to differ, i've punted over 50 yards on many occasions
