It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I know the snap was off on gost`s missed FG....but how bad was the HOLD or placement by Mesko ...and can that be THE reason why he blew the game winning attempt. A lot of people talking about how ball was tilted....or leaning forward.....I could not see that from the quick replays...thanks!
Well it depends on which way it's tilted...it should actually be tilted slightly right (by about an inch) for right footers and the opposite for lefties. So the ball shouldn't be completely straight. Some kickers may request a slight angle back...depending on the kick and, of ourse, laces should be facing forward.
I don't know the logic behind tilting left and right...so if someone old add to it that would b great.
EDIT: found it; by tilting the ball about five degrees inward, It creates a more perpendicular alignment Between the ball and the foot and reduces your chance of hooking the kick.
