Sometimes we're (definitely include me in this group) just looking for a "right words", or a "rule of thumb", to help us to understand the rules (not just kicking) to make good judgments, or to help us explain the rules to a questioning coach.

But JRutledge and BryanV21 are correct, we are paid professionals that need to be confident and to trust our own judgement.

Kicking the ball is intentionally striking it with any part of the leg or foot. The rule (to quote President Trump) "is what it is".
