There are a couple of things that someone can work on to try to increase the hangtime of a football punt. Obviously, kicking the ball higher would increase the hang time. However, kicking the ball so that it spirals instead of falls end-over-end will increase the hang time because the ball will catch more air resistance from underneath.
