When the kicker is set, you hold your front hand up as a target for the long snapper. when the ball is snapped, the holder brings their back hand off the spot to catch the ball and then needs to place the ball on the spot. After the ball is caught, the holder needs to locate the original spot with their eyes and precisely place it. It is important to note that it needs to be the exact same spot. If not, the kicker's plant foot might be too close or too far away from the ball, or they could strike the ball too high up or hit the ground behind the ball. After the ball is placed, the holder needs to make sure the laces are faced forward. If the kicker kicks the laces, it can cause the ball to veer off course. The holder holds the ball with their back hand and uses their front hand to spin the ball so the laces are facing forward.
