So lets use today for example, today is Saturday, therefor during my kicking today after i would kick the ball towards the basketball hoop, or the goal posts, i punt back out to the yard using my right foot(where i kick them from towards the hoop) and depending on where it lands i kick from, so sometimes they will land in the middle of the yard sometimes they will land to the sides, its all random. Each kicking session i have a marking on the field which is my distance to kick from, if my punt doesnt go passed that, i just move the ball back past it, and kick it from behind the marking so basically every kick i take is passed a certain distance, and that distance i increase every two weeks.Now if i really boom a punt, and it goes way passed the mark i will just usually kick from where it lands. I hope this is making sense, any questions you can contact me on MSN or AIM anytime.
