If we are talking about soccer though I'll go with bending it over a wall and dropping just inside the near post.

Was about to mention this. In soccer, probably the toughest skill would be to hit that perfect free kick.

This. Over a defender's outstretched arms. Especially if they know it's coming.

Of any shot I've ever made, that one just feels so DAMN good if/when it splashes through the net

I've played most all sports. I can say without a doubt hitting a driver isn't even close to as difficult as other things for me. I might have just been lucky as hell, but I'm consistent off the tee box. Hitting a baseball would get my vote.

I'm biased because yay early 00's high school, but I'm gonna say being able to perfectly master touch and bullet passes with a football in any section of the field. I'd even go as far as to say you can't teach everyone how to do it, you've gotta just "get it".

Hitting a baseball. Well, by a pitcher that knows what he's doing at least. It's literally the hardest thing to do in sports.

How is it literally the hardest thing to do?

Playing defense in basketball. It's the one thing I couldn't even come close to doing.

As far as covering an NFL receiver or hitting an MLB pitcher, that has more to do with going up against an elite athlete. I can do those things just fine in a pickup game against random people, but nobody's going to look good against a professional. (Except the OT of course.)

I think stats show it's harder to score a goal in hockey.

I have always been told it is fielding a punt from a NFL punter, then hitting a 90+ MPH fastball.

For me hitting a fastball was easy and I never played football.

But I can't hit my driver for shite, so I gotta go with that
