How to Long Snap a football with Coach Ben Fuller - "Trajectory" Lesson 9 - Long Snapping Instruction. Prokicker.com - American Football's #1 Long snapping Camps Instruction / Lessons with Ben Fuller. Fuller is National Long Snapping coordinator for Ray Guy Prokicker.com, clinician, coach and contributing writer for national football publications. Focus of this video is on snapping "trajectory" for self-reliant long snappers wanting to self-coach.
The trajectory of the football when long snapping is best controlled by hand placement. You might have had someone tell you after a high snap to keep your butt down. By lowering your tail, you will have a lower snap, but you compromise the fundamentals by doing this. Rather than getting in your stance fouled up, try to move the guide hand down the ball slightly. If you gradually move the guide hand down the ball, you will find a placement that results in a lower snap, without ever altering your stance.
Another way to help control the height of snap delivery is to experiment with the tilt of the ball. Lowering the ball away from your face straightens the arm slightly more and will result in a lower snap. It is important to keep a slight tilt on the ball when experimenting with this method.
The third way to help control the trajectory of the snap deals with the release point. If after your first snap you notice that your arms finish in the groin area and after the next snap you realize you finished at the knees, your release point is likely the culprit. Work to maintain a consistent release point when snapping the football.
