Punting

CHOICE TO MAKE

You have to decide how many steps you will take, two or three.

Two-step approach
The Two-step approach is used as well as the Three-step approach in high schools, college and the NFL.  This site concentrates on the Three-step approach and a variation of the Three-step approach, called the Skip Three-step approach.

Advantage of Two-step Approach
Quicker punt time
Distance to the center is shorter, giving the center less distance to snap the ball
Preferred by the coach if you can't punt well or are slow

Advantages to the Three-step Approach
 Better balance
 Easier to learn
 More forward momentum into the ball
 Provides more time to set the ball up for the punt

I recommend the Three-step approach for the reasons listed above.
