The time a punt remains in the air.
A term used to generically describe the ripening time of grapes on the vine. As a very broad rule of thumb, the longer grapes are left to hang on the vine at the end of the season, the more sugars and flavors they will develop. In cool climate growing areas, like Oregon's Willamette Valley, the amount of hang time that can be achieved is limited by the onset of autumn rains. Consequently, winegrowers looking to achieve maximum ripeness must run the gamble of ruining their crop by allowing the grapes to remaining on the vine too long, possibly becoming diluted by rains and/or susceptible to fungus and disease caused by wet weather. In warm climate regions, like the Columbia Valley, this isn't as much of a concern, and larger amounts of hang time can generally be achieved. There is usually a limit to the amount of hang time that is desirable, however, as the sugar/acid balance changes as the grapes continue to mature on the vine.
The amount of time a player can stay in the air while attempting a shot.
the length of time a punt is in the air.
the time from the moment the ball is struck by the foot to when it is caught or hits the ground. Anything above 3.5 seconds for high school is good.
Time the grape cluster is on the vine.
The amount of time that a punted ball stays in the air. If a punted ball traveling 50 yards stays in the air for 3 or 4 seconds, that is excellent hang time.
The amount of time that fog or smoke stays in the air without dissipating.
The amount of time that a punt stays in the air. Longer is better for the punting team as the tacklers then get more time to get to where the ball will be coming down. A combination of a long punt with a long hang time is optimal on most punts.
