[QUOTE="Rugby_Cymru, post: 88129"] I find I kick in ways that i've not seen anyone else do. When placing the ball i'll tilt it back slightly, i feel i've got a greater area to kick from. Explaining this makes it sounds really amateurish, but except for pulling the kicks a few times i can average 40m kicks sometimes taking them from the half way line if the wind is with me. As far as approaching the ball is concerned i'll stand diagonally from the ball and walk back 4 steps (ala Gavin Henson). Can anyone tell me if leaning the ball back ends up creating more wind resistance when the ball travels through the air? Becuase obviously, torpedo-ing the ball is ideal to reduce wind resistance, but like hell can i kick the ball like that. [/QUOTE]
