Man put your son foot ball down

[kctitleist]

So if you were raised as a pitcher then how do you stop the wobbley passes? Breaking your wrists is a huge part of it and quite frankly I have only learned one technique that makes a perfect spiral but I don't have any velocity. I'm too old to compete but it sounds like you know what you are talking about. How do you get the ball to spiral up and come back down with the nose down? When I throw it it looks good but.. What can I offer to my nephew for a tight spiral. I will trust your opinion.

but definately one of the best videos on youtube at least that I've seen

Just as a common rule I tell people when they're trying to get a grip. Just because everyone has a different sized hand, if you have your thumb just below the top lace, have your middle fingers just barely touching and move your hand up and down the ball until your thumbs are about a quarter inch to half inch apart. The other thing, the mechanics of someone's throw should stay the same everytime, and the way they change velocity is how hard you push off your back foot, and that ups arm speed

Gr8 job!!!!

hey, thanks for the video. i did not know how to get started on this, but now i believe i can get a good grip of the football. i guess you forgot to mention to keep a gap of air between your palm and the football..at least it works for me.

can you make a video where you are actually throwing it?..thanks

[Dinothegreek08]

[teddy2trees]

Thanks man all i need now is the how to pee and poop video and im set. Will you make on of those any time soon?

[twestmoreland109]

@teddy2trees nope. won't be making one of those anytime soon ted. but from your experience of self defacation, i'd say you're well experienced in those fields. OOOOOHHHHH FACE!!!!

[SWAGSEtTA112]

[ExKyo08]

thanks man! better than those expertvillage videos out there teaching how to throw football and damn it's complicated. yours are so easy to understand!

[jwmarfy]

You forgot to mention that the left elbow needs to be thrust across and clearing your body. Good video though.

[sophiarocksalot]

what if your hand is too small? oh im 11 and i have pe to morrow and i need to know

[TinderFidles804]

I'm about 4 months too late, but hold on to the ball same way he's showing you, just closer to the point of the ball.

[blenderx360]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[teamdeathcamp]

[DarkDeltaZero]

[kmkz310]

nice tips buddy..thanks

[PortuguesePrincess5]

Thanks I'm sure you've helped a lot of people that didn't know how to throw a football. I thought it was a great video. You taught it well. (BTW yes I'm a girl that plays football :P )

[GhettoNerd88]

Sweet thanks for the lesson.

[gamerleo]

This is a wonderful video.. But tell me.. Sometimes my football in the air goes side ways.. Do you know why?? :S

[CalebMartin94]

this reason can also be is your "forcing" your follow through, what i mean by that is your 4 fingers are sliding off the ball at the same time and trying to force the spin of the football

[TheKimi001]

great video,thanks man :)

[spee10]

I agree with jrtool, good instruction, just show the throw in a field.

[fdragonboss]

lol that's a junior ball

[yugioh780]

awesome actually since i was eight i was in school and we had free (a subject that we can do whatever we want) and i went to a empty classroom with my friends until we realized someone was there and she was way older than us and we didn't mind and i had my football and i started playing with my friends i almost made one of my friends bleed and remeber the person in the class she said that when im a teenager she said she imagines me and my friends being quarter backs im not braging

[deathbypigx3h]

What's interesting is that you're wearing a Steelers jersey, and teaching how to throw a football. Terry Bradshaw had a very different, and odd grip on the football. Granted, you're wearing a Big Ben jersey, but still. This is a great how to video, but a lot of the mechanics of throwing a football come down to personal preference, and comfortablity.

[jrtool]

Very good 'how to' now you should do a demonstration in open field.
