The important aspect of this drill is the center cone. After kicking the ball the player must follow
through over the cone and this action prevents players from falling to the sides, which effects their
accuracy, or falling backwards, which effects their distance.

This drill was given to me at a
kicking workshop in Pretoria by
my old friend, Eric Herbert,
kicking coach of the Stormers,
and second highest point scorer
after Naas Botha in South Africa .
