How do you stab punt in Australian rules football?

A stab punt is kicked with the same action as a tab kick/pass with the exception of the split second adjustment of kicking the ball just before instead of just after it hits the ground. This means the ball is kept in very tight to the body, in effect kicking the ball with the knee in front of the point of boot and ball contact. Of course you are leaning over the ball. The kick must be able to be accomplished running at full pace. The point of ball destination must be to the advantage of the player so he can run on to it and mark/catch it. You must estimate this and it must be in clear space preferable ahead of him. The tighter in you kick the ball the lower the pass will travel. The ball cannot be dropped vertically. In the old days, 1949, when muddy and variable surfaces were commonplace and the stab pass could not be kicked I invented the stab punt, An Australian Rules football Development.

 Muddy Conditions Countered. Johnson was outstanding in the mud with clever turning and accurate disposal, in muddy, windy and rain swept conditions. -Ringwood Mail, August1951 
 In 1949 Mt Evelyn football ground's surface was uneven and often very muddy. Studying Jack Dyer's drop-punt, 14-year-old Mt Evelyn player Jim Johnson adapted it into a field pass in 1948. Then, at 15, Jim invented and used a low, fast punt kick known as a 'stab-punt pass'. 
Jim used both the field pass and the stab-punt pass at full pace. Because the ball was kicked before it touched the ground, and stayed low, it was accurate in mud and windy conditions. Journalists didn't know what to call Jim's techniques. Frank Casey wrote in The Post on 8 September 1960, 'Johnson sent his delightful little drop punt pass direct to Manfield'. The same day Davey Crocket reported in the Ringwood Mail, 'Johnson should write a book on stab kicking - he has found the lost art'. 
Both kicks are in constant use today in Australian Rules football as they are suitable for fast play-on football.
