Why does laces out matter for field goals?

206 viewsOther

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.

Follow up question, what does that even mean?

Is it about pointing the top of your picking foot outward so the laces aren’t the point of contact? Or lace the shoes with the aglets going into the shoe instead of coming out so the crossing happens under a layer of lace to dampen it?
