How do you increase your hangtime punting a football?

Answer 1

well first its a given that when you punt ur leg should always kick through the ball and as high as you can make ur leg comfortably go, what varies in terms of hangtime/distance is the height from which you drop the ball onto your kicking foot. the higher the point u drop the ball from, the higher the ball goes until it gets to a point where the ball will actually travel backwards

the best thing u can do to increase your time is work on always kicking through the ball and exploding at the point of contact so you always get the maximum hit off the ball
