I thought a Denver kicker had a shot at this years ago, and ended up hitting a knuckler that went 30 yards and about 10 yards off the ground.

Had he hit it, he would of broken dempsys record at that time, which i believe has been tied/broken 2 or 3 times now.

They usually end up being knuckle balls because kickers are largely inexperienced kicking from that distance and try to drive them by striking the ball higher.

The reality is you have to strike it with enough loft to maintain the trajectory, and only a handful of kickers ever have had the raw leg power to send a kick like that 65+ yards through the air.
