Types of Punt Kicks
In a typical punt kick the kicker points the ball in the direction in which he wants the kick to go holding it at a 45° angle to the axis of the foot. In flight, the punted football will remain flat with the longer axis roughly parallel to the ground. A poorly executed punt kick, known in Australian rules football as a helicopter punt (or sometimes mongrel punt), may gyrate flatly in the air.
