[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1077419, member: 17987"] Obviously it seems to be working, but I guess I don't understand the kicking game well enough to understand why a more "broken in" ball would result in longer kick distances. I would have assumed that a newer/fresher ball would have the most "bounce" to it, I guess. I've heard it said anecdotally that a more broken in ball has a larger "sweet spot" but I'm not sure how true that is. On the other hand I also remember hearing from Bill Cowher talking about how the league has been a bit more strict about the defense lines up on the kicks and leaping/launching which in turn has allowed kickers to kick with a bit of a "flatter" angle leading to more distance. Probably a couple of things going on overall [/QUOTE]
