One part of kicking seems to be neglected . It`s what you should do with the non kicking foot or leg. On a dry/damp piece of turf the studs will grip . Imagine kicking on a sandy beach. The foot will slip away if you take it for granted that it will hold. It is possible to maintain the forward movement while kicking but to be aware of the difference is a good thing . Stopping dead on the standing leg can be a disaster on a slippery ,muddy pitch . Maybe this has been talked over already but some recent instruction videos makes that unlikely . I would say stopping dead will limit the distance . Next part of the distance topic is maybe side of ball contact versus end of ball contact .How does end kicking affect accuracy ? Or does it ? It may be a sin to mention Jimmy Greaves here but in his book he advises you to "Lock the Ankle" as you kick to get more power in the kick. It takes concentration to focus on a player`s ankle and watch for that important detail . So 3 things to ponder on already .
I should have added something to make your games more interesting . I have seldom , if ever ,seen an international match where a kicker deliberately makes the ball spin and tumble. The trick is to kick the "side of the end ". Not a torpedo kick , which is straight on the end . And also kick a little across the line of the ball to add the wobble. You need to imagine a shorter kick with defenders turning back and the unfortunate devil who is trying to catch this spinning wobbling object without dropping it . It`s great fun to watch if you surprise them with that . NB Foot contact will be with the toe of the boot .
