And what popped up on Twitter was a load of like his clips from underage.
Like he's such a good natural goal kicker, but it just doesn't look like that over the last season.
the one that dave has there is slight variations to it but it is what it is and even like you know the the pitter patter of the footwork going in on on the run up to the kick like they're they're all very similar in how they do that i personally don't like that because how many pitter patters are you going to do and when pressure is on
Is it six?
Is it five?
Is it seven?
But that all affects the distance that you're going to be away, be on your last step into the ball, which is the most important one, because that's where you want to get your distance, right?
You want to have the right momentum, the right body height.

And part of the reason why that is happening is because it's harder to find the sweet spot of the ball the way it's set up.

Okay.
Who he was, I remember kicking with Roger and he'd be telling you what shape he was going to hit off the tee.
And he'd keep you punching the ball, like a four iron into the wind.
