[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 671626, member: 57076"] Yeah so I'm wondering just why it's so damn difficult to kick the ball between the posts. As a person who's never tried, with my only awareness of: the ball is oval, some angles are hard to kick...I just can't for the life of me understand why it's just THIS difficult. The point of this thread is to ask the question: why is it so damn hard ? fkk... Just watching a game now, Rory Kockott, a notorious perfectionist misses a sitter, barely an angle to the left, about 22m away.. I totally understand it's hard to get those ones with a crazy closed angle from the very far side, but I mean players from all over the world, Top 14, Aviva, Super Rugby, English, Japanese, Maori...etc.. are having the toughest nailing them with true consistency. Those are pros, they're paid to do this. Not to mention just how some kickers make it look IMPOSSIBLE, the guys who don't kick often for club: when you see Doussain kicking sometimes, he makes it look like the laws of gravity have all of a sudden altered, and he struggles, and it's ugly and uggh.... I know it's hard to describe the feeling, but I've never tried: give me insightful details about just why it's so hard, please. [/QUOTE]
