Rugby: Kick at Goal
Question
Hi, my name is Joey and I am a fullback [first season] for my high school rugby team and I have a problem with my place kicking. When I place the ball on the tee, I always have the ball leaning towards the posts. I have asked numerous coaches and other fullbacks [kickers], on where exactly to hit the ball. I know everyone keeps telling me the sweet spot, but there is a sweet spot on each panel of the ball, so I'm very confused at this point. If you can help, I'd definitely appreciate it.
Thanks so much for your time.
Answer
Hi Joey,
I truly have no experience in place kicking. I went to Google and used these key words for a search:

I got a lot of good looking results with video on Youtube and more. I think you will find your answer there.
Good luck
