How To Throw The Perfect Football Spiral
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лис 2019
- NFL quarterbacks like Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Drew Brees make throwing a perfect spiral look easy, but it's far more complicated than it seems. To take a closer look, we spoke to NCAA football coach Ryan Larsen, who breaks down the steps that go into throwing a perfect spiral, as well as the common mistakes that can lead to inaccurate passes. Finally, Union College Physics Professor Chad Orzel helps us dive into the science and physics at play in a spiraling football to understand why a well-thrown spiral is vital to the success of every attempted pass.

How To Throw The Perfect Football Spiral - Спорт
I’ve never wanted to throw a football In my house so much until now
Same
Same 💀
😂😭
Lol
Same I'm doing it rn
They need to show that receiver guy a video on how to properly catch a football next. Geesh
Lambro thought we were supposed to make a triangle with our hands not clap them to catch the ball. That’s WR 101
Lambro I think they made him catch it like that so that the viewers to see the ball spiral instead of some dudes hands
That’s literally how you catch
Tsunami_donut it’s not how you catch, the guy slapped his hands around the ball
why was he catching with his palms😂
I'm going to have to question that statement that every completed pass had a perfect spiral.
Michael Wade fr
Michael Wade also was thinking that
@PeytonManning
Absolutely
Yeah for sure
The one that receiver catches the ball makes me cringe.
Yes
I was thinking that the whole time
Ikk
Don’t know why he lets the gloves catch the ball for him. No wonder why he doesn’t catch the wobbly ones.
The one the re- I'm all sorts of confused
1. index finger last off the ball, finish down
2. Middle finger and thumb in straight line
3. Load ball back with elbow above armpit (quarterback on top of ball)
4. Use other arm to twist torso while stepping forward into throw
5. Use legs and core to generate power
6.

Facts
Yesterday was the first day i threw a football after 2 years. We were in pe and a kid passed me the football and i caught it perfectly and told me to pass it to another kid that was real far. And i threw a perfect spiral and it didnt rock around and it was so accurate. Now they think im really good at football they asked me to play with them but it was a sheer luck throw. Seeing your throws go so perfectly and be liked is nice
I remember I used to know how to throw one pretty good. Now I forgor
@@breakingmad2645 that’s why I’m here lol.. haven’t played with a football in years.. played some catch and can’t throw a spiral at all.. still could catch tho 😂
nerd
@@breadispain454you clicked on this vid too bro😂😂
@@luffynegsfiction1945 nothing wrong with looking for improvements
Next episode should be “How to Catch a Football”
it's a handegg
Catching is pretty easy just catch with your hands first then grip it with your fingers
open ur hands and lose at perfet time
That's like how I sometimes put a spin on the boulders I throw at campers
Hello Mr Elusive, watchu doin' on a sport video ?
The myth section needs your attention, I think ...
How many football shaped boulders are there??
Bigfoot no way
I’m an expert at doing spirals
Kim Jong-un no ur not ur good at sending nukes
Raid Vhoyd?????? Spiraling nukes maybe
Same, my coustin tought me when i was like 5
Kim Jong-un I would like but it’s at 69 likes
Jajajajaja
I think Drew Brees had the best throwing motion overall. And Mahomes just kills it with his various styles
I like Bree's style. I'd vote for Dan Marino's ultra quick release or Warren Moon's perfectly, perfect spirals. :)
Mahomes is to passing as Moss was to receiving. Freakishly talented.
The way the catcher is catching the ball is making me feel uncomfortable
Skyler Nguyen the way you called the receiver a catcher made me uncomfortable
Hunter Pokorney good one😂
You mean receiver
@Reilly LeBlond "bruh", you're racist.
@Reilly LeBlond so is Adam Thielen, CMC, Greg Olsen, George Kittle, Travis Kelce, Julian Edelman...
"You can't be accurate without proper mechanics"
Pat Mahomes: "Hold my no look pass"
joao vitor sg “You can’t be accurate without proper mechanics”
Aaron Rodgers: “ Hold my passes falling down right into recievers hands into tight-tight coverage”
Eric Guerrero dude Mahomes is so much better than Rodgers and Mahomes is way more athletic.
The Executor where? Athletic as can run faster maybe. But if you’re new to football go watch Rodgers highlights buddy. I guarantee you there will be some throws mahomes will never make because he’s never been tested with actual coverage. Yeah he’s thrown into tight windows like a couple of kelces TDs but that isn’t tight coverage. And if he did throw into tight coverage I guarantee you he has perfect form and not falling to the ground or having his shoulder pads pulled or any of that stuff. Mahomes runs faster, that’s all he gots on Rodgers. Literally. If you watch packers interviews they will tell you publicly even before mahomes was a starter that he throws no look passes in practice but he just hasn’t tried one in an actual game. The super man throw against the Titans? In reality he jumped because he didn’t want to be injured and if you don’t see that you’re stupid. Not to mention he literally was able to use ALL this force. Rodgers has done that and thrown over the shoulders in tight covered recievers 😂🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️is like to see one thing Rodgers can’t do that mahomes has done. Show me, please🙏🏽
The Executor and you probably think that just because he had 50 TDs last year😂. Go watch his highlights and tell your self if that was a hard throw or he was wide open. I guarantee you you’re gonna get so used to saying wide open you won’t even remember what u were doing. Rodgers when he had those kind of recievers and play calling had 45 TDS and only 6 INT. this isn’t even to mention he didn’t play about 3 total last quarters and 1 full game.
The Executor oh YEAH and I forgot to mention, when you watch mahomes 50 TD passes I want you to also look out for how many recievers were underthrown and had to wait for the football, and also notice that in those plays mahomes had all his throwing motion available to throw it. But when Rodgers makes them wait he’s usually falling down or on the (fast) run
The receiver tryna make a football sandwich lmao
What in gods name is that POV receiver doing trying to catch the ball fingers forward-palms back at 3:24?
Thank god im not the only one thinking that
Homie trying to jam his fingers
Jason Day yeah bugged me too
It looks dumb but I think it was to show the spiral that was thrown but I'm not really sure
Yesssssss
Damn that dude does not know how to catch a football.
I mean at least he caught it lol
Yeah its f****** driving me crazy
Think its so viewers can see the pass instead of a triangle
Hello snoop
You can do better I’m
Guessing
I’m a baseball player I can throw a football pretty far and accurate but I never could get a good spiral most of the time.I never knew this about football proper throwing mechanics it’s pretty cool.
Yeah my coach said i should throw the football it helps with pitching or something
Professional baseball player!?
Football is heavier than a baseball and uses muscle that are important in throwing a baseball.
Baseball is round, you've never needed to spiral.
I found an old football started throwing and to me it feels like the follow through of basketball every time I hit that perfect spiral!
Step one: Listen, Learn, never stop learning.
Step 2-9,999,999: PRACTICE.
Step 10,000,000: throw a perfect spiral.
I think step 10,000 just kind of happens during the previous steps.
lee jay Funk step one- just get a comfortable grip and throw the ball it’s not hard to throw a spiral I don’t understand why practice is needed just to get a spiral no one follows these steps you just don’t think about it and throw the ball
The thing is (basketball,soccer also) confidence makes all the difference,making it IS about being dramtic with the play,that increases morale in ur team.
I wish someone would throw me like that football😩😩😩
MY LIFE IS A MEME MY LIFE IS PATHETIC That’s what she said
Michael G. Scott that does not work at all dumbass
MY LIFE IS A MEME MY LIFE IS PATHETIC lol
Beanos stfu moron it works perfectly, especially since that guys thumbnail is Micheal Scott, who say as that joke all the time regardless of whether it works or not. It’s a joke within a joke that you obviously don’t get
The wobbly or the spiral pass ill throw u
I don't care about football, but knowing this made me appreciate it a little bit more.
I’m an 8th grader and new to foot ball I want to join a team but I don’t even know how to throw a foot ball I’ve seen multiple videos and this is the only one that explains it good now I can throw thanks
Thank you this is very helpful
Someone teach that receiver how to catch
Thanks I needed a tutorial on how to throw the football ball
Thank u so much on how to actually throw it 🤗
The release point is important to. It should be above your head rather than beside your ear. To create a tight spiral, one should have a good follow through as well.. with the throwing hands thumb finishing by the opposite legs "pocket". But it all starts wit stepping into your throw (lead leg). & That's not even all of it.. there's so much that goes into throwing a football, it's crazy.
You helped me be some much better god bless you ❤❤❤❤ thx
Why is Kirk cousins the thumbnail 😂
He has a good spin to to the ball
Skyler Nguyen so does every other quarterback in the NFL
NSN Kungfu Not true
I didn't even watch the video haha just came straight to the comments for this exact comment 😂😂
NSN Kungfu Philip Rivers throws are ugly lmao
I'm gonna bet that the receiver idolizes Agholor.
Very helpful I could not throw a spiral before this and after I watched it all I’ve thrown is spirals
1:07 sassy quarterback 😄😄😄
Why does the receiver catch the ball like that I’m a wide receiver myself and I would never catch it like that and he’s just trying not to catch it when they throw a wobbly throw
AztiicZ-_AzerR maybe cus he ain’t a receiver dumbass
love the outro 😭❤️
Best video I’ve seen yet
This helped me😀
The Key what separates the greats from the averages is rotational force, the coach in this Video is a pure linear thrower.
Rodgers, Stafford, Brady.. the best technicians stay back, creating torgue, being in balance. Left arm tight to the body, full extention of the arm at throwing release, level shoulders.
Coach swings open with his left arm, which looses him a lot of rotational power. Also, he is ending his motion solely in his left foot, weight fully transferred, he has to get his left arm out because hes not in balance.
It is still a good video to explain the fundamentals of the Spiral though :)
Id pay to see a physics professor and a QB and a QB coach just sit around and talk about the perfect football throw.
thank you super useful
I injured my shoulder by throwing a couple of years ago. Now it still hurts when I try to throw or even playing other sports like tennis or just working out. I guess it happened to me because I was doing it the wrong way tho my spiral was pretty good but maybe it was because I didn't recieve any professional training.
Same its a shame how coaches are supposed to teach this stuff but they rarely do
Maybe it's golfers elbow there's exercises to recover from that
Taking boxing lessons where you learn to twist your hips to increase power has also taught me how to throw the football
Terrific video. Need one ranking qb's by how well they throw the football (how good their spirals are) as well as how fast they throw it
Did the qb coach think it would be rude to say something to the guy trying to catch the ball? Goodness
great video
Even as a Vikings fan, I'm wondering why cousins is the thumbnail
Because he’s been killing it recently, stupid.
Because he’s the best quarterback since week 5 and even when he wasn’t doing well he still threw spirals which is the point of the video
Hop off the bandwagon of bashing Kirk you fake fan. He’s set multiple records over a 3-game period, is in the mvp conversation, won offensive player of the week for nfc, and the chiefs loss isn’t even his fault. Stfu and look at the stats before you hop on the bandwagon
Luke Ellis Best QB since week 5😂😂😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡
Because he is
I never thought a chad can be a professor
Im over in Australia and im currently doing gridiron for pe. Im trying to learn how to throw the ball
Im 38 and play since 3 Month. Its so hard. But in Berlin if u put out a Football theres always someone to show how it works. Love Football
You should make a video of how to punt a spiral.
What you have to do is make sure that on the drop, the ball lands on the right side of your foot, if you are right footed, and make sure you drive up nice and fast, you might have to practice it a few times.
This receiver gave me so much anxiety.
thanks this helped me throw better
2:30 if you just put more velocity on the ball then that is actually a very catchable ball
Thankq i been tryin to throw good
I’m good at spirals but terrible with throwing power
Cyprius accuracy is more important than strength. Look at Tom Brady lmao
Your thumb and middle fingers are the most used for sports even baseball especially when throwing a curve
They are also the most used when watching sports
Mike S 😭😭🤣
I wish I seen this video when I played qb(class of 06).. I was taught to throw the spiral with my 2 middle fingers.. but we ran a run heavy offense any ways tho...
Cool!
thanks
2:15 catch that ball
Mark Antar they're trying to show that a badly thrown ball is harder to catch, I'm sure he didn't catch it on purpose
But then again, he was a pretty shitty catcher the whole video
4:17 I love that Brett Kern is shown 😂
this video inspired me to play football
After this video I’m ready for the NFL
I used to be pretty good at spirals, but just one day I was absolutely not able to do one, so now I'm here to see if I can't fix it
Helped a lot because a have a natural arm talent and I just needed to unlock it
Everyone can catch better than that reciever
Someone show the receiver how to catch
Aye, LET’S GO GIANTS! Love the shoutout to my Big Blue GMEN at the end there. #GiantsPride 🔵🔴💙❤️💪🏼
i just came here to gain the knowledge of how to throw a football and not the angular momentum and all the physics behind it it is pretty interesting tho
So I’m a D1 15u baseball player looking to get into a second sport so I don’t use up may arm. And I was wondering can baseball throwing Mechanics translate into football?
Yes it can especially if you play pitcher
@@glooks0.722 I do, thx so much
Oh yes a d1 15 year old
Ty
I believe Michael Vick has good mechanics, quick release and power too.
i just throw the thing and im naturally good at it.
Been know how to throw spirals
Sheesh got ya Boy Kirko Chainz on the thumbnail
When this video was showing photos of QBs throwing, i couldn't tell if or not they were dissing at Wentz or something
3:03 “electric screwdriver”
i don’t think about throwing a spiral i just throw one
Yeah its not that hard all people need is practice
Yeah, it’s just natural too me as well 🤷🏻♂️
That's fine until someone actually asks you HOW to throw one...
@@nahor88 ummm yeah throw it similar to a baseball and make sure the pointer is the last finger off to get the rotation and pull your leading arm down thats the best i got lol
The hand action when you release is the same as throwing a screwball. Follow through to your opposite pocket.
I'm watching this because sometimes when I have to throw the ball really far my arm hurts about 20 minutes after or it hurts sooner if I di this too many times does this have something to do with technique?
Goodell has imploded so much, he can’t even comprehend the losses he’s endured.
Can somebody show this to Mitch Trubisky please
already did this without knowing
That guy “ catching” is the definition of “NOT A RECEIVER “😉🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨😳
Who knew itd b so hard yet sounds so easy
yes they do
The reciever reminds me of Nelson Aghelor
Barry Bee Benson 💀💀💀
I remember I. 5th grade I was a quarterback and was widely known for my skills ( even though I wasn’t
Epic
Odell or oddel idk his name but he is legendary
I have good accuracy and can throw far but I need to get that spiral everytime
I believe one reason the ball can get away from you or wobble on a hard throw is because when you throw it harder you have a tendency to squeeze it harder which makes for an inaccurate throw.
Rodgers has the best throwing motion in history in my opinion
Who would need this video
Bro I can throw perfect spirals every time(sidearms too) I need a video telling me how to read defenses and too critically think on the field
Golden spin rotation
"On top of the ball"
*has picture in thr background with elbow below armpit*
Me watching the vid again a year later cause I lost my ability to perfectly throw a football in quarantine
I wanna see this guy try to catch a kick
I need to show this to my kid
Jerry Rice is the GOAT 🐐
I slingshot it but it goes where i need it too go and spiral most of the time
Is this bad?
