But it's much easier to throw the ball with loft than it is to throw line drives, and the same with kicks because it takes much more velocity to stay up if you throw a  line drive.

I can't believe you, an attorney, is seriously trying to argue that it's just as easy to throw (or kick) something at a line drive than it is with loft.  I'm pretty sure that you have to be arguing just to hopefully derail the conversation at some point to avoid admitting being wrong.

Do you realize how hard you'd have to kick (or throw) a ball to defy the laws of physics and have it just stay in the air?

Once again, pretty easy to smack you down

Re: Why is a longer field goal kick (football), kicked at a lower angle?

An end-over-end football kick will generate even less lift because of its irregular shape and must therefore behave somewhat like a baseball because it is observed that a lower kicking angle will travel farther than the 45 degree angle predicted by basic (no drag/lift) ballistics.






Just google the question and you will see several more sources explaining that on longer kicks a lower trajectory is needed.
