Ninjabros, not like this!
>A new K ball in the NFL would likely mean fewer missed kicks because it would reduce one of the biggest variables special teams face — the ball itself. Current K balls are stiff, slick, and hard to strike cleanly, which can throw off both distance and accuracy. If the league introduced a version with slightly softer leather, more consistent inflation, and better grip, kickers would have a truer surface to work with. That consistency would translate to cleaner contact, more predictable flight paths, and ultimately fewer missed field goals and extra points.
