Any broken fingers from holding the ball on field goals?

I’ve never been a holder but one day during practice we had “kicker tryouts” and I kicked the shite out of the coach holding the ball

I held in college and like someone else mentioned, kickers that get to that level will not miss the contact point by that much. And you definitely don’t want to let go early, you actually focus so much on what you have to do you don’t see the kicker until after contact. If I remember correctly our target time from first movement to contact was sub 1.25 seconds to make a blocked kick impossible.
