I kicked in high school and 1 yr in college beyond wide receiver duties. I preferred slightly under inflated/beat to **** balls. A brand new/over inflated ball would carry about 7 yards less. A medium aged ball with more elasticity would return hero yardage.

Throwing? I preferred higher psi... If they were soft then control was lower to throw. I.e, you couldn't throw a kicking ball with the same accuracy as a passing ball. The logic holds today (few years later) and is why different balls are still used for various plays in the game within the rules.
