Not one bit. I went from virtually no surface area to about 42 square inches of it. Sure a kicking shoe will lessen the affect of the ugliness of all those hooks and slices. But, if you're hooking and slicing beyond 2-3 feet on either side, it means that there is a serious flaw in your mechanics. Which is exactly why there aren't any straight-on kickers in the pros.
Nobody knows how to do the damn thing to compete at a level comparable to soccer-style kickers.
And thus, you will likely be drinking very heavily by that time. I'm just warning you in advance. I wouldn't worry as much about the shoe as I would about how the Hell you're going to kick the ball with consistency. A shoe isn't going to help you kick a football down the middle. I thought that straight-on kicking was as good as any reason to drive someone to drink.
