[@crazycreeper_4539]

The PuntFactory I’m going to try these tips because when I punt the football goes off to the side or just up in the air

[@danksideoftheballoon9887]

Fake!..That's a fkn rugby baw!

[@Hsbsbdjdjeej]

Dang! Just landing on the ball of your foot for the first step gives so much power!

[@ThePuntFactory]

Yes it does! Ensures steps are short and body in a powerful position !

[@joaolimalima8]

[@tayem5555]

I’m not sure if the video said this but I have a question.When I make contact I am very inconsistent with it.I mostly make contact too high and i hit the ball on the front of my shin or I hit it on my toe. Do you have any drills that could help this? Thanks

[@ThePuntFactory]

Tayem Hammad check out the arm position / body position video. That’s probably your arm being too extended and body too upright

[@robertrichards3034]

I want to learn how to aim my punts and get them to roll back so if I get it inside the 5 it does not keep going and end up being a touch back

[@ThePuntFactory]

Watch the aussie punt video!

[@iamdrewinla3557]

Killer content!

[@ThePuntFactory]

IamDrewInLA thanks brother!

[@JBJucie]

Sophomore highschool punter here and i average about 40 yards with 4.5 hang time. Do u think that would be enough to walk onto a college?

[@ThePuntFactory]

That’s solid bro of course!

[@stepdad971]

Love it

[@ThePuntFactory]

Thank you!!

[@ItzSparKEdits]

I train as a 2 step punter but I want to kick as far as I possibly can. Do you think the jab step punt will get more distance?

[@ThePuntFactory]

ItzSparK I don’t think more steps translates to more distance at all. I think it makes you long and harder to stay balanced and keep your power underneath you! Work on your shoulders coming fwd, watch the body position video !!

[@ThatKidSeb_]

Where do i strike the ball

[@ThePuntFactory]

Sebas Roar that will be discussed in a future video! But... the big bone on the top of your foot is ideal!

[@ThatKidSeb_]

The PuntFactory ok because everytime I strike it..the ball never spyrals

[@aaronpeguero5673]

What if you want to kick longer and farther (btw your better than my P.E teacher)

[@ThePuntFactory]

Put your shoulders forward more!

[@connorfoley6359]

Maybe I missed this. How long should the first step be?

[@ThePuntFactory]

Connor Foley realistically around a yard! It will differ Punter to punter. Long as you’re hitting ball of your foot you will be ok!

[@connorfoley6359]

The PuntFactory is there a way I can send in film? I would like a few tips to increase hang time but also get around the same distance

[@ThePuntFactory]

DM me on IG!

[@israelgarcia5716]

I really want to show my coaches that I have a good leg to punt

[@ThePuntFactory]

IsRaEL GaRCIa be confident in yourself and be prepared for the moment!

[@ZB_Gaming1]

I S R A E L G A R C I A same

[@numba1punta110]

Punt every single day brotha.

[@TearitoffE]

I need a kicking coach

[@ericmatthews3780]

So you said that you always hear "but this guy in the NFL takes 3 steps" and you addressed it. But my question is, if long steps are bad, why do I see most NFL and elite college guys taking a short first step and a very long, almost leaping second step? They're the best of the best and can punt 80+yd balls if they want to. So what can you say to convince me you're right about long steps being bad?

[@ThePuntFactory]

Great question. I would say show me an elite punter at any level taking long steps. I would also say try an exercise. Stand up and take a 1.5-2 yard step forward with your plant leg. Feel what your balance is like? Feel which direction your shoulders are pulling / falling? Now think about hitting a full speed punt with that distance. It’s definitely an aggressive - longer then a normal walking step - step. But if you train long steps then it’s hard to be consistent. So I train short steps where punters can feel their balance and power underneath them. And then if during live punts they get a bit bigger it’s normal and natural. However train to be perfect.
