Breaking the palm habit has made my spirals tight. I was coached to have as much of my hand on the ball since I had smaller hands, along with swinging my front elbow down hard. Its crazy to think that some coaches have little idea what they're saying LOL
As a HS coach I’m blown away at this. Literally any 5 minute video on a coaching site, hell even RU-vid, will show that’s the exact wrong way to throw. You need to accelerate your elbow *through* the throw to get a quicker release, definitely not down. It’s irresponsible. This is a dangerous game and if you don’t know what you’re doing get out of the way before you ruin a kids life.
@THE TRACKCAR then you simply haven’t been in front of good QB coaches. Every QB on earth, possibly minus Rodgers (because I can’t find any flaws there and I’ve yet to hear someone give one) has mechanical aspects to be improved. It might be as small and simple as they’re extending their front foot out 2 inches too far on the throw and losing a lot because of it. But everyone has something.
If you followed his steps and still cant throw spiral it's ok Just keep finding the right grip for you. And also throwing over the shoulder is always more accurate.
Thanks man this helps a lot! I’m a high school QB and I just got a scholarship to Rhode Island! I’m going to be there starting QB next year! This helps thanks! I’m Randizon Zoe by the way!
I definitely has to do with the wrist too, but you don’t want to manipulate your wrist! What I mean by this is, throughout your throwing motion, you want to keep your wrist locked in place! You don’t want to break at the wrist to try and get a spiral! Your wrist being unstable will actually make your throw worse!
Today was my true day 1 learning QB mechanics via YT and spending some time putting that in motion. And the Number 1 reason I started throwing more and more spirals(albeit not insanely far like 10-15 yards) is the grip. Having a gap between your palm and the ball is tremendously important as well as grip strength. You should be gripping the ball hard enough that its your fingers holding the ball not the palm
Hey coach, quick question: at what point in the arm's motion does the ball point right at the target? The ball starts off pointing behind me but im confused as to when I rotate the ball to face my reciever. thanks
I appreciate you as a QB coach I try to teach my son but he doesn’t listen well when it’s from Dad so a few minutes of watching you he realizes what I show him is true and he is more inclined to listen lol
Grip strength is more important I’d say, plenty of guys with big hands who can’t spin it however it can definitely help and give you an advantage but if you don’t have big hands you can still spin the ball with a strong grip
im not a quarterback but i am a blocking back... u got any tips?? im also linebacker and some plays wr and im struggling on explosiveness and i want so help
Hey coach i got a question. So i’m a bball player rn and i’m above average like i play aau and all that. but i’ve been really wanting to play qb, i’m 6ft 160 ish and i’m 14. should i give it a try? if so, where should i start??? (i have a lot of football knowledge)
I would say try out for a high school team and checkout a trainer you can work with. I’ll send something below that can help you get a grasp on the position and what to expect www.firstdowntraining.com/product-page/the-qb-bible
Do you have any tips for people with smaller hands. I can't grip the ball hard enough to bring my elbow down. Especially if I have to run, I don't know how to build that strength with my hands.
Question is it normal for the football to shift to a direction for example I throw right handed my ball shifts to the left slowly. Is that normal for throwing
