Haven&#8217;t heard of any great players that do not agree on the drop punt being the most effective kick to use these days, but even though it might be more reliable than any drop kick or other kicking idea, it can still be hard to get right, and today&#8217;s tutorial is not pretending it is at all easy, but plays the &#8220;behind the scenes&#8221; idealized physics behind kicking the ball.  The game pares it all down to an elevation angle of your initial contact with the football and a metres\/second velocity that you kick the ball.   All that being the way it is, and the world has no drag, nor friction, and is straight (no fights in Kings Cross, methinks<a target=_blank title='Kings Cross, Sydney, NSW, Australia' href='http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kings_Cross,_New_South_Wales'>?<\/a>), how far will the football go, and how high will it go?
