Pivot point is in the center of the object ( the leg) During the last class you should have had some time to explore and experiment with the animation effects. You probably discovered that using spin would not produce the desired effect to have the leg kick the ball. You probably discovered the pivot point was in the middle of the leg rather than at the top. You need to keep that idea in mind for the next lesson.
