I remember it being a big deal in Ace Ventura, but it was just a movie and didn’t think anything of it. But watching games this weekend and having announcers talk about it and praising kickers when the holder can’t get them facing out I’m wondering why laces out is a big thing.

A true ELI5:
Imagine dropping a football the side that doesn’t have laces. When it hits the ground it’s quite predictable where it should bounce up.
If you drop a football on the laces side, you’ll notice that it’s much more unpredictable and sporadic.
The same applies to a foot kicking the ball.
