Once the receiving team touches it becomes a live ball and if the kicking team recovers it regardless how far it went they have the ball.

If the kicking team touches a punt ball before the receiving team can the receiving team take possession of the ball without risking a turnover?
Kickoffs can always be recovered by either team, as soon as the ball travels 10 yards. So regardless of whether the ball hits a player or not, it's available to the first person who can take possession.
What is the call if the kicking team recovers the ball before ten yards?
the kicking team gets a penalty and the receiving team gets it ten yards forward from where they picked it up.
If receiving team touches ball on punt and does not have possession then kicking team touches ball before going out of bounds but does not gain possession which team gets the ball?
Receiving team. Same as a catch. You must have possession before its your ball.
After a kickoff if it travels over 10 yards is it anyone's ball?
Yes, as long as no one on either team touches it before the 10 yards. After the ball travels ten yards during a kickoff it is a free ball. That's correct. Once the ball travels 10 yards, anyone can recover it.The receiving team can always recover after anydistance. So if an onside kick only travels 5 yards instead of the required 10 and the receiving team recovers, the receiving team would take possession of the ball at that spot.The 10-yard rule is a restriction on the kicking team only. The kickers cannot recover the ball until is has traveled 10 yards, UNLESS the receiving team touches the ball first. After the receiving team touches the ball, the kicking team can recover, regardless of how far the ball has traveled.
IF a punt is touched by a member of the receiving team and it goes out of bounds after touching a member of the kicking team whose ball is it?
Receiving team. Unless the kicking team has complete control of the ball before it goes out of bounds.
Detroit Lions 3rd quarter downing ball inside the 5yd line by Smith?
This is when the kicking team touches the ball before the receiving team, AND the ball does not go over 10 yards. This is mostly seen during onside kicks.
Can the kicking team on a kick off hit a man on an onside kick before the ball is touched by receiving team?
yes
