Well worth a punt

In Football Kicking and Punting, Ray Guy, the greatest punter in American Football history, provides you with expert kicking and punting instruction.

Whether it’s on the gridiron or the rugby pitch the fundamentals of kicking the oval ball remain the same and kickers in either code will benefit from the help advice in this book.

So whether it’s pinning your opponent inside the 20 or drilling that last-second kick through the uprights, let Football Kicking and Punting elevate your play and ensure winning performance.

What the expert says

“Although targeted primarily at American Football, many of the drills, techniques and exercises within Kicking and Punting are a fantastic training supplement for any aspiring rugby kicker. In the England setup we have used a lot of these drills to perfect and hone our skills to compete at the highest level.”
