Below are Video's from my first punting workout of 2009. Filmed on 2/14/09, punting with a 10+ mph wind. Notice the steep 70+ degree angle of the ball leaving my foot on the 5.1 second 55 yard punt. This punt would have been a 5.3 to 5.5 second punt against the wind!

with the
entire staff of the
Stampeders. Tested
on the
sprints and
threw
as
well or better than the other QB's with no
interceptions.
After 3 hours of
practice, I punted
15
times
all ranging
from
4.7- (twice at 5.65+
sec.)
hang
times
at 40-50 yds
net,
against
a 10
mph
wind,
of which
"100%
would
have
been
fair
caught",
(all
of the
punts punted that
day)
according
to
Pete
Costanza,
receivers and
punt
returners
coach.
This
series
of
punts was the
highest,
highest
hang
time, and
most
consistent ever seen by
coach Costanza
and maybe
the
best ever punted
by
anyone!

with the
entire
staff of
the
Eskimo's.
Tested
on the sprints
and
threw as well
or
better
than the
other
QB's
with no
interceptions.
After 3 hours of
practice, of 6 punts, my
3rd
kick from snap
was a
5.41 sec 47
yd net fair caught punt. This punt was with the wind, and if there was no wind or against a wind like at the Stampeders, it would have been a 5.6+ hang time punt.
(PKS Inc.) Professional Kicking
Services, Reno
NV Invited to 5
camps
from 1997-2005.
In
1997, I
recorded a
5.3
sec. hang time punt
on my
3rd punt
ever
in
front of Rob
Pelfrey
and a 5.4
sec.
hang
time punt in
2000'
on my first
series
of
punts.
NFL Punters have a low % of fair
catches
and
a high return
for
TD's
statistics
because
of little
hang
time ie:
3.5-5.0
seconds, and
kick the
ball
too far
for their
coverage. Even
the
higher hang time
punters kick the
ball
too far for their
coverage.
NFL punters now have to kick an
end-
over-
end
or punt in
order to get
an inside
the 20,
instead
of using
high hang
time
punter that
can
hang it
high
every
time
between 35-50
yards. Not
only
this, if I had to
punt inside the 20, with that field position,
it
would be
the
best time to
do a
fake-punt.
Punt Returners are scared to
catch my
punts. I
have had a
history of
creating
turnovers on
muffed punts
becuase
of my high hanging punts that drop straight down.
I can hit the Rafters on fields such as
Ford Field in Detroit, who's roof is 193 feet high, but
the rafters are at about 130 feet. Dr. Z quoted Scifres at
Ford Field being able to come close to the rafters, but never
did. Scifres punts a 5.8 second hang time at 70 yards net, my
punts would be 5.8 seconds at 50 yards net. From
research on Google, it takes a 5.75 second hang time punt at
50 yards net or less, to hit the rafters, speakers, flags,
tv screens and other objects that are hanging from the underside of
the Stadiums' roof.
