i use to be a straight on toe kicker but i kick soccery style now and im just telling u that soccer style is way more accurate and u get more power.......u should really try soccer style
@jdogjr9509 No rule on the kickers drop back but I think the average time from snap to a defender being in a position to block the kick is like 2.3 seconds so that would dictate how many steps the kicker can take. I am surprised with how young this kicker is he is not more of a soccer style kicker. He is almost straight on. Nice kick regardless, of course.
@thepumita123 dude your stupid who cares how he kicks it as long as he makes it in the goal post 3 points is 3 points so shut up cause the kick was good
all this trash talk on how he kicks...but yet this is how they use to kick field goals, i dont care if its head on, soccer style, toe punt or even a drop kick....3 points is 3 points
All you haters need to shut up. Straight-on kicking is a lot harder than soccer style kicking and he clears the net on a 40 yarder. And people saying that its because of the tee you are wrong. its only like 3/4-1 inch tee.
im trying to kick semi pro next year, i kick both ways soccer for field goals, straight for kickoffs. longest field goal to date about a 39, im not too good, but you sir, are amazing.
People, how come you say he sucks when it was a perfectly executed kick?
The rotation was at the right speed, the arc was where it needed to be. Get off this guys jock. He helped me out, I took his advice, and I've added 15 yards onto my range and only getting better.
dont listen to those jack asses that was a good kick and this is comeing from a freshman kicker and punter my best so far has been a 53 yarder i have tried from 57 but it hit the left upright
nice toe kick.... that was popular in the 70's lol good try tho. ur def a back yard kicker but not college or high school tho. thanks for the laughs tho lol
Great kick, great form. I kicked straight on as well. Much more difficult and kicking soccer-style. My longest in a game was 43 yard. I never missed in a game, either. Practice? Yeah, missed a bunch.
i was just at the bills fieldhouse for this special event and was kicking fieldgoals from the 20-30 yard line. so i was kickin like 35-40 yard fieldgoals.....good for a 13 year old right??
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wow he kicks with his toe, which is actually much harder to do that kick soccer style. Id like to see him kick it with pressure and pads on. 35 to 40 yards is weak. Im 16 years old 175 pounds, and have landed a 63 yard feildgoal in a game with full pads and pressure.
I have almost been playing football and kicker longer than you have been alive and I am only 26.. can you believe that.. At any rate, like i stated before I kick very well, and even better underpressure, its easy to miss in practice, no pressure, but there is somthing about being in a game that adds ness. and power to the athlete that I have always loved and enjoyed myself... I understand you need for approval and acceptance, just do what you do well, and let your kicking speak for you :)
@TheCarbon26 I'm a toe basher and it sucks dick. Especially with pressure and pads. I just wish I knew how to soccer style kick so it wouldn't be so difficult
@TheCarbon26 man ur not that good... i have a friend on my team in 5th grade and he kicked a 40some yarder in practice with pads, and he can probably kick even farther then that
@TheCarbon26 HAHAHAH dude your fucking hilarious. i like how your bragging about that when its probly not even true. way to use youtube to improve your image. it didnt work.
@TheCarbon26 You have NOT landed a 63 yard field goal. I gurantee that. Maybe off a tee, which is a kickOFF, not a field goal, because the record for a field goal is 69 yards, if you are 16 and can make a 63 yard field goal, you must be jesus. Dont be retarded, and quit lying.
@TheCarbon26 fuck you, a humble person who cares what people think about them wouldn't brag about how he kicks, i'm 13 and I better self esteem than you, grow up buddy.
yea lets see if dis dude can kick in NFL ot college football not in practice and wit pads on all the gear on not on shorts and teeshirt and runnin shoes that was weak kick there was no wind
I am glad you asked... I can kick in a game underpressure... In fact, I have never missed a FG or PAT in a game EVER.... I played little league (pewee) football in the 5th and 6th grades, kicked then even when everyone else was going for two... I kicked in middle school and as a freshman for our JV team, then on to Varsity and then Kilgore Jr College, you can look us up.. we are the winningest jr college in tx, look up around 2004 and see that we won the SWJCFC, I was the Spec teams capt and a K
I love the fact that you kick so well, but I have one comment, I find that if I TRY to kick soccer style for a while, and then kick straight on with soccer style steps, it actually goes further, higher, and more accurately than pure straight on or pure soccer style (for me at any rate). Dunno if that's something you wanna try out, but it works for me, and it just might work for some others.
Your Kicks look real nice. I am a highschool kicker and I kick straight on as well. Have you ever tried to use a sting to pull up your toes and lock your ankle in place? It seems to give me greater distance and height over when I kick without it.
coming from the next starting kicker at u of south carolina, as long as you get it its ok but the fact that you kick straight on just shows you have no athletic ability or kicking skills, whatever works though.......btw good luck starting the game with a straight on kick off
Good luck with the USC thing... I dont know about you, but I can place the ball where ever I want on the field, on a kick off, that is what I call athletic ability and kicking skills... I can run the 40 in 4.33, bench over 240, squat 545 (workout with 225) and I am pretty good at Punt Golf, soooo... I guess I am not what you think... Just keep kicking and remember you can always get better, and there is ALWAYS some body better than you out there. I am very blessed and thankful for my health.
@Rummyss Wow, just looking at all of these responses, everyone is being a bunch of assholes. Your a good kicker, and from your responses, it sounds like you know it, keep up the good work man.
Ya well, I am kicking for Texas Tech next year. very mature comment though, at least i was complementary in my past response to the video. As far the athletic ability thing goes...it annoys me because it just furthers the stereotype that all kickers are shit athletes.
I'm not america so idk about NFL, but i do play british rugby simular balls different rules. But kicking is the same we kick it in a bombing style, where you sweep it with you're left foot then try turn youre heel a little bit to make it spin, theres also the soccer styled kick but me just call it a bulleet kick.
My point being i like how you kicked it in most matches in both rugby & football you need air and distance something not alot of people can do.
ITS ACTUALLY NOT... When you kick scoccer styly (which you probly know) you have to turn and drive your hips through your kick.. (the danger is in the turn & drive, chance for human error) when you kick straight on you just line up and move out.. TOO EASY really..
another good point for me to make is working with your line- when kicking straight on you can create more lift faster (with less distance) than with a scoccer style kick- because of the nature of the kick.. This is perfect for 30yrd field goals and in since most of these are the "Easy Ones" that make or break games - OFTEN -... Again, Less Power, More Height (WAY MORE ACCURATE) :)
It's easy to go from straight on to soccer style, but much harder to go back, but I'm pretty sure I'm a bit better at soccer style, maybe a bit more determination to learn it. But still, you are GOOD boy!
On a final note.. WHEN I play in the NFL there will be a kicker kicking straight on.. ME.. :) Patience is a virtue.. Its ok to be different, just be authentic (real). Do what YOU do well, and be happy at the end of the day. :)
Yes, the straight-on method is somewhat antiquated. However, I talked to one kicking coach of a college team that said he didn't care if a kick used the soccer-style or the straight-on method as long as he got the ball across the cross-bar. There are pros and cons to both methods, but honestly, some guys, for whatever reason, can not get the soccer style to work.
bad technique you should kick with the upper inside of your foot and start from an angle , use your shoulder FACING THE FIELD GOAL at a 90 degree angle to aim straight at the field goal
I am pretty sure you mean, " Bad technique you should kick SCOCCER STYLE" its alot easier to say and way shorter to type.. just a suggestion for the future.. good luck :)
i a fresman i mainly play qb but i also place kick and kickoff i made a 48 yard feild goal to win the game in my first game (the only game we won) buy the way nice kick
ya ima freshman too..our fieldgoal kicker got hurt midway through the season and i tried kickin for the first time and at our last game i hit a 50 yarder with a slight face wind
First of all REMEMBER Football is just a game. If you never lost- the wins wouldnt feel soooo good. :) You've been blessed with the experience to go deep into the playoffs and play in a state game, be thankful for that. Be proud of all the success your team has had, (ultimately let this go) and use your past experiences to make you a better kicker for the future.
--(also)-- You cant change the past but you can influnce the future :)... If people pick on you, they are not mature enough to be your friend. Good luck, keep your head up and keep kicking! :)
I know this is a year ago, but people shouldn't be making fun of you, they should be making fun of a the damn offense and defense because a game should NEVER come down to just a kick.
Hey nice kick. I am a college kicker and soccer style kicker but yeah do whatever works for you. You could put some of the soccer style kickers I see to shame. Good Luck to you!
just curious as to who taught you to kick straight on. it's been proven that you can kick farther and with more accuracy if you kick soccer style. and EVERY NFL kicker uses soccer style. i'm not saying that straight on is necessarily bad, it's obviously working for you, but still, it seems a bit weird. i guess converting to a different style would be kinda hard
You know, I try to be honest and open, honestly- I do not believe that soccer style kicking is more accurate. I do believe that while the mechanics do prove to produce much more POWER the skilled aspect of accuracy does not come from the style of kicking but the kicker useing that style.
I have been able to get better and better of the years, I do believe that straight on kicking is easy and very effective, especially if your teams offence is good enough to get you within 50yrds of the FG (40 yrd line and closer). I hope this answers most of the questions you were thinking...
hmm, well, i play soccer so i guess i'm a little biased...but hey, if you can kick a 50 yarder, it doesnt matter how you do it. keep up the good work!
I converted from straight on to soccer style. SS has ALOT more forgiveness on mis-hits, with both distance and accuracy. The degree of difficulty learning soccer style mechanics was a loooong FRUSTRATING road..but def worth it. Anyway, to each their own. Great work bro.
Thankyou for the compliment.. Way to go on finding more success with soccer style. I know quite of few great soccer style kickers and I agree that its a good way to go.
please dont call that "DEEP" grass .... thats like a fricken putting green compared to what kickers in the Northeast have to kick in so please ... no whining
Sorry you thought I was whining... I really meant to point out the difference between the length of grass that I kicked on here against astro turf or astro play... compared to those surfaces this grass is long.. :)
i love that your honest that you think its weird.. it is kinda old school and funny looking especially with everyone doing something else and calling it the best... I think we can be different and good at what we do- you can apply that to anything in life. :)
Actually, I can't find a size 7 straight-on kicking shoe anywhere. I believe 8 is the smallest they make. Either way, the cost is absurd. I think someone could save a lot of money by using a good dress shoe!!!
I love kicking straight on, I am extremely comfortable with it and its alot of fun to just get out and knock out some beautiful kicks when I need to let some steam off or just to get out and have fun. I especially love kicking with some of my friends that kick soccer style (girls and guys) and beating them in like horse or punt golf (i know this isnt a punting video but its still a fun game)
nice man, great job. i used to kick straight on but i played other positions too so i had to learn soccer style because i couldn't change the shoe fast enough..
Only think that sucks is if u wanted to kick in the nfl, it would be very hard with that type of kick

if you made a 48 yard field goal you would be kicking on varsity, not playing qb as a freshman. what was it really? 28 yard field goal?

First of all REMEMBER Football is just a game. If you never lost- the wins wouldnt feel soooo good. :) You've been blessed with the experience to go deep into the playoffs and play in a state game, be thankful for that. Be proud of all the success your team has had, (ultimately let this go) and use your past experiences to make you a better kicker for the future.

--(also)-- You cant change the past but you can influnce the future :)... If people pick on you, they are not mature enough to be your friend. Good luck, keep your head up and keep kicking! :)

I know this is a year ago, but people shouldn't be making fun of you, they should be making fun of a the damn offense and defense because a game should NEVER come down to just a kick.

Hey nice kick. I am a college kicker and soccer style kicker but yeah do whatever works for you. You could put some of the soccer style kickers I see to shame. Good Luck to you!

just curious as to who taught you to kick straight on. it's been proven that you can kick farther and with more accuracy if you kick soccer style. and EVERY NFL kicker uses soccer style. i'm not saying that straight on is necessarily bad, it's obviously working for you, but still, it seems a bit weird. i guess converting to a different style would be kinda hard

You know, I try to be honest and open, honestly- I do not believe that soccer style kicking is more accurate. I do believe that while the mechanics do prove to produce much more POWER the skilled aspect of accuracy does not come from the style of kicking but the kicker useing that style.

I have been able to get better and better of the years, I do believe that straight on kicking is easy and very effective, especially if your teams offence is good enough to get you within 50yrds of the FG (40 yrd line and closer). I hope this answers most of the questions you were thinking...

hmm, well, i play soccer so i guess i'm a little biased...but hey, if you can kick a 50 yarder, it doesnt matter how you do it. keep up the good work!

I converted from straight on to soccer style. SS has ALOT more forgiveness on mis-hits, with both distance and accuracy. The degree of difficulty learning soccer style mechanics was a loooong FRUSTRATING road..but def worth it. Anyway, to each their own. Great work bro.

Sorry you thought I was whining... I really meant to point out the difference between the length of grass that I kicked on here against astro turf or astro play... compared to those surfaces this grass is long.. :)

i love that your honest that you think its weird.. it is kinda old school and funny looking especially with everyone doing something else and calling it the best... I think we can be different and good at what we do- you can apply that to anything in life. :)

THankyou Shooster11, I hope you didnt have to spend as much on your shoe as I did on mine. Too bad they cost so much for ONE shoe :)
Rummyss 4 years ago
Hey Rummyss,
Actually, I can't find a size 7 straight-on kicking shoe anywhere. I believe 8 is the smallest they make. Either way, the cost is absurd. I think someone could save a lot of money by using a good dress shoe!!!

I love kicking straight on, I am extremely comfortable with it and its alot of fun to just get out and knock out some beautiful kicks when I need to let some steam off or just to get out and have fun. I especially love kicking with some of my friends that kick soccer style (girls and guys) and beating them in like horse or punt golf (i know this isnt a punting video but its still a fun game)

nice man, great job. i used to kick straight on but i played other positions too so i had to learn soccer style because i couldn't change the shoe fast enough..
