So here’s the thing with NFL level punting/kicking. Gostkowski missed that FG because he stepped an *inch* too close to the ball, which caused his foot to be traveling just enough to the right as he swung through (instead of straight to the target) to push it right. An inch.

I’ve never thought about it like that, but that’s just like a golf swing, where setting up an inch too close can cause significant slice/hook.

So I’ve tried that (as a fairly athletic person) and it’s even harder than hitting a golf ball normally. Feels amazing the 1/1000 times you connect though.
