Found a trick for stretching tight hallways without busting your back

I kept fighting with hallway kickers until a buddy told me to use a knee kicker at a 45 degree angle instead of straight on. Has anyone else tried angling it that way or is this just some weird old timer thing?

Heard my buddy Mike swear by this after he spent a whole Saturday fighting a tight hallway in his rental. He was about to throw his knee kicker through a window until his grandpa wandered over and showed him the 45 degree trick. Said it let him get right up against the baseboard without jacking up his back or the wall.

Man that's actually a solid point I never even thought about. Most people just assume you gotta brute force it with the knee kicker in tight spots but the angle changes everything. Wonder if the same trick works on stairs or if the pitch just throws it all off again.
