Excellent video yet again. Very instructive and suitable for all ages. Also love the cooking slot at the end which had the perfect balance of instruction and pace.

[@luketreharneTi7s]

Thank you so much! Took your feedback on board for this cooking segment

I watched this video then went outside to practise mt dropkicks and it helped so much❤. Tysm👍👍

[@luketreharneTi7s]

Awesome! No problem at all!

[@BP_Oil]

For kick-offs I rarely move to kick, I just swing my leg and it usually works out. On drop kicks/goals though I hold the ball with 1 hand and off to the side and as low to the ground as I can get it (I was a football kicker before playing rugby and it’s the closest I can get to that style, it works pretty well too but its main problem is that if it’s not perfect it will effect the power)

[@luketreharneTi7s]

Awesome 👊

[@wrsdes]

This channel is the best rugby channel I have seen because most of the rugby channel videos end really quickly but this channel also has great recipes too.

How many seconds does the ball have to bounce and kick to kick a drop kick high or far? And how far should my stepping foot go when I bounce the ball?

[@luketreharneTi7s]

Great Question! This is how I approach it for height and distance; kzbin.infoNg9-JUYnWno?feature=share

@@luketreharneTi7s Thank you!

[@luketreharneTi7s]

@@Unlils No Problem 😃

[@SportsFan-gr8zx]

Luke, do you drop the ball an equal distance from both legs? So unlike for a punt/chip/grubber, you don't drop the ball in front of your kicking leg?

[@canadiancontent352]

Great video but what is the strike point on the ball and your foot. I guess its the bottom half of the ball and I think u said the knuckle of your big toe? I've been kicking the ball wrong for about 30 years now, though I did once kick a convert in a 2nd division game from.right in front, a real highlight

[@luketreharneTi7s]

Yes I kick with the knuckle of my big toe and aim for the lower quarter of the ball. But it's also what ever works for you as long as it's accurate and consistent!

[@canadiancontent352]

@Luke Treharne well I've only ever been consistently inaccurate

[@luketreharneTi7s]

@@canadiancontent352 Better get practicing then!

[@canadiancontent352]

@@luketreharneTi7s what do you mean by the knuckle? Are you talking about all your toes or just your big toe? FYI I tried this at touch yesterday in my flip flops and was getting nicely under the ball for the 1st time. That’s all I play know but I’d like to know how for coaching

[@luketreharneTi7s]

@@canadiancontent352 Hey 😃 just the knuckle of the big toe is that I aim for.

[@earlywalker6601]

What part of the foot hits the ball? What area of the ball is struck?

[@SportsFan-gr8zx]

use the "knuckle" of your foot. To find it, trace up your foot from your big toe. You'll find a rock hard area. That's the knuckle. You strike the ball near the point but slightly further up towards the belly of the ball. Some say around 1/3 of the way up.

[@ceejaymarshall433]

I tried everything with drop kicking and the only thing that happens is the ball goes 4 meters in front of me lol😂

[@luketreharneTi7s]

It’s the hardest skill to learn in rugby. Takes a lot of practice. I would try and work on the drop without kicking the ball firstly. If you can nail a consistent drop then it’s just about the timing on the strike.

[@ceejaymarshall433]

I’ve nailed the drop i just have to work on the follow through cos I keep toe poking it I can’t get the perfect strike on the ball. I just gotta practice everyday I guess.
