It's not a difficult task.. it's not rocket science.... It's the same ole process to start a play when your ready to watch a play go live...
Just turn your game on with the Kicker's foot still proped behind the footrest..
I'm just saying....
I did have to dremel the next 2 TDK's Foot rest to release the foot during Vibration...
You can even use a razor to shave off some extra Risin to get the Foot to Vibrate off the Footrest as well.....
it's not that hard... just remember......Laces Out during your setting the ball on the Kicking T...
In Fact..... I remodified the Kick T as well..... but I dont want to confuse you anymore with words......
I'll set up a Picture of a remodified Kicking Tee ...
The reason's for remodification's is because this Kicker can kick over 10 feet and beyond!?
I was wanting live Kickoff's without the ball way off the Table lmao..... So several attempts, several hours, and several readjustments with the ball placed on that modified Kicking Tee wasn't going to allow me to Peform what I was trying to accomplish....
Well.....I got idea's flowing through my head, brain storming on this outstanding kicker to put the ball in play.
I'll post a closer Pic on the remodified Kicking Tee designed to go upward insted of outward, and try to demonstrate verbally the laces out routine...
To Be Continued......
It's Good!!!...

Attachment 35256Alright.......First...Tooooools..lol....Here's what U will need to make Your TDK Kick upward insted of Outward for infield live action with the Kicker's...
Now......Just because your getting the Design don't mean it's Bullet Proof!?
Until you!!!! You!!??? get Rep's at getting the right angles on the ball settinngs on the remodified Kicking Tee...
I'm apologizing for using my IPhone for visual reviews, my computer's running a little slow or, i'd give you a " LIVE " format kick after kick after kick with the ball landing inbounds for a return..
Just like Real Football, there's a few kicker's that can't fing the endzone after the ball touches the field and bounces out of bounds lol...
Alright... here's some pin points of interest pic's....

Attachment 35257


Uh Oh!? Technical Difficalties on my pic's being too big to show on here?!
Too Be Continued



These Circled pin points are remanufactured on the Kicking Tee to Elevate the Ball upward insted of Outward.. I used a Needle to extend the ball past the Original set up...

Here's a Sewing Needle and a Lighter to start the process sticking it into the Original Kicking Tee.....
Attachment 35258


The I used pliers to hold the Needle to keep my hands from getting too hot..
The Dyke cutter's are for you to decide how much extra you need to hold the Pig Skin in Mid Air to get your Kick to go Straight up in the air insted of outwards...
Attachment 35259

Ok See the circled Needle point!?. that's important " to me anyways " to how you accually place that ball on that needle Tee!?
You can put it on it, but are you angling it to do it's job the right way when you turn on your game to have him kick through the uprights!? that's the real Question!?
Be observent of your placement when you put that Pig Skin on that remodified needle Kicking Tee...

Ok,...... looooook at that Foot rest!? he's looking like a Kicker that's about to trip himself with a foot behind another foot... that's your Foot rest you set before your Kickoff... he will look like this everytime... or your doing something wrong lmao....
Awight!? ...... keep trying to get that right set up with the pig skin on the needle.....
In fact..... Take a look at the next set up for that set up.....


A Opening Kickoff look from the 30 looks like this.. But, there's a catch to that angle...... make sure your proping your Pig Skin more toward the inside " closer to the Kicker's foot " leveled with the backside " being the front of the Needle... Straight up in the air, some kick's need a angled tilt to the outside right of the kicker so he don't slant the kick toooo much left for only about 30yards...





PAT's.. ( Point After Touchdown ) Field goals and Field Goal Attempts.... goes like this set up ..... Because it's accurate to the goal post without the ball drifting too far Left or Right...... laces out.... and check your kicker's angles, because so far, they all don't kick alike......and they all can drill it no matter what....

[ivsoptionsondeck]

Let's see if My Pic's Show up this time!? they didn't want to show up the first time as I tried to commentate what's goin on with TDK's Power...

Tools you will need to remanufacter the TDK's Kick performance..




Area's to Focus on......







Get cho'r Game looking real with live kick's fella's!? it's all that and a Bag of Chips!!!!!!

Seeing your website, I was thinking that the TDK was a manual replacement of the traditionnal miggle "tool". I didn't understood that it was a automatic kicker.

SO I believe I 'll have to guess how it works and make my own

I see your trying to get that polishe to shine like crazy!? lol smile.... Well, Geno's work is out of the world right now.... and your saying your going to get on that invention wagon and develope some talent like that too!? Aw Man!?

Could you explain a little further about how you get the kicking foot to stay in place until the board comes on?

[ivsoptionsondeck]

As soon as you Get yours..... Make sure... you add a little super glue to the Bead and Crimping Clamp....
You will lose that some time down the road..... It's on good but..... You Never know..... wink...smile..... Super Glue them ASAP...

The Kicker has a Lump of Risin " like a block of plastic " on the inside foot

that the kicker plants his foot with.

Between Both Feet is where you will find this Foot Rest Block to set the

spring loaded leg in place before your ready..

Check out the Kicker closest to the bottom part of the picture...

Look at the highlighted area......That's a Foot Rest being highlighted so you

can see where you need to set the spring loaded leg...

Remember I said.... Laces Out!? because these Kicker's can swing a kick far

left in a hurry...

I'll see...perhaps I will not reinvent the wheel and buy Geno's stuff...I can't say that I 'll success for sure, since I'm more in the artistic side than the engineer side, but crafting stuff is part of the fun, I believe


Thank you for the explainations !

Although Carl has found some things to "modify" his TDK to his liking all you need to do is place the stock TDK on a standard base and glue a strong neodymium under the base. The footrest is standard on every TDK. Its original intended use was to "trap" the leg and hold it in place while you placed the ball on the tee. Carl used a weak standard magnet and that is why his TDK's base looks so large. Trust me since Carl first brought this "live" kicking style to my attention I have kicked many field goals with the TDK in its stock form. All a coach may have to do is trim a very small piece from the footrest to get the release to happen in a couple of seconds. I will try and get some photos together this weekend.
