UNC's Barth seeking a kick-start
Posted Oct 29, 2005
John Bunting compares kickers to golfers, and their slumps can be similar because their motions can be upset by the tiniest, unintended change in mechanism.Barth believes he has isolated some of the mechanical problems that are causing him to miss. He said the distance he steps off from the ball to set up for the kick has been off slightly, causing him to get to the ball a bit too early. He also has been lifting his head too early on some kicks.
