    To practice throwing a spiral, do this. Lay on your back with a football in your throwing hand. Now just practice throwing it to the ceiling ( without hitting the ceiling) and catching it when it comes down. Now start spinning the ball out of your hand over and over until you get the feel for it. Then work on spiralling it as close to the ceiling as you can without hitting the roof, then having the ball come straight back down to where you released it from. Once you have the feel for spinning the ball into a spiral and a little bit of ball control, go ahead and start throwing from your feet, concentrate on accuracy and then velocity as you feel more and more confident. Once you can do all this, start really stepping into your throws and develop arm velocity with proper ball spin and then you are set.

    This tutorial is good for beginners, but this leaves out a lot of other important things such as hip and shoulder disassociation, proper align, etc.
    Also, what he said about shoulders being perpendicular is not completely correct. You should have your shoulders parallel with each other and lined up with your target before the throw, and then parallel when you rotate through. Also, your hand should not be above your head before the throw; it should be behind your shoulder at less than a 90 degree angle, then you bring it to 90 degrees as you bring the ball up. Then, you throw the ball and you extend your arm and release the ball while rotating your wrist so that your palm is facing outward.

    I really wish he'd mentioned footwork. FBs obviously hold the ball in a different spot than QBs, so he was actually teaching something bad on that.
    Footwork is sooo important for a QB, and coming from a FB I expected something about that, as it plays a role on the spiral. Hell I'd been more happy if he'd talked about the exchange from QB to HB/ TB/ FB

  • @RayMurtada
    @RayMurtada 11 років тому +1

    I agree, footwork gives most of ur throwing power

  • @dylanwright625
    @dylanwright625 11 років тому

    In fact, Terry Bradshaw used to leave his index finger on the back end of the ball. In my experience, QBs only have 2-3 fingers on the laces, and honestly that really only matters in terms of comfort. As long as your index finger is the last finger to touch the ball and you square up your shoulders, your good.
    He also failed to mention only Launchers hold the ball above the shoulders, that isn't necessary. He also failed to talk about footwork, something I reasonably expected to learn from a FB

    stick to Fullback stuff ! Always have your ball on your shelf above your strong arm peck slightly off center,kinda in the prayer position . never have the ball above your shoulders !(ball security is paramount).
    off hand and shoulders should not finish toward your target ! you should torque your body and your off hand around forcing your back foot to tap the ground just ahead of your front foot.

    I have a question. I live in europe but I'm really interested in football. I wanna play it but we don't play american football here. Near my town there's a flag-football(you have to pull a string/"flag" away from a player to stop the run, instead of checking the player=ur not allowed to check) team though and I've been thinking about, joining it. I lose my interest in stuff very fast though. So if this wouldn't be fun for me I'd probably stop doing it. Also. I'm not very fast. I suck badly. Should I start playing flag-football or nah?

    Not helpful that much. Only do that when you're just flicking/tossing it. You want to lock your throwing arm at a bent 90 degrees at your shoulder, leaning sideways, and throw off of your foot. That is why many QBs throw off of their foot (back power). I'm a former QB, I still play everyday so I know what I'm talking about

      That's what I used to do and a lot of my coaches told me that but there are some people who like to change how to do things

    Wtf, my football coaches train me and they said u do got to snap your hand at the end of ur throw, cuz it gives momentum... And actually u knoe nothing.. Cuz most QB's do hold the ball in the middle, which gives them better control to throw the ball.. Gtfo here
