Makes sense since they kick it off the inside of the foot and not the top of the foot. Similar to baseball infield - if you play 3rd base or SS, the ball comes off the bat with a different spin than when towards 2nd base. Doesn't seem like it should make a difference, but it is definitely a different spin.

Just what 'return specialists' need. Another excuse for flubbing punts inside the 15 that they had no business touching in the first place.

There is also another benefit to left footed kickers. It forces the defense to line up differently. Your speed rush guy has to play on the opposite side of the line and makes him a bit more uncomfortable and slower.

Also, many of the left footed kickers are slightly more powerful...not sure how true this is, but several of my coaching buds swear by it.

left-footed kickers should have kick from 5 yards back then... it's the only fair thing to do... 😟
