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 KZread, 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.

This is perfect since I am trying to get better before school when I do start football.Thank you so much!

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

This guy watched a Tom Brady video, I need to see a resume lol

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!

@johnromero6485

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!

This was a Great lesson. More then you learn form most people in a days worth of coaching.

Knee drills and focus on snapping the wrist. Do it daily for months and your spiral will get tighter.

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

So the rules haven’t changed since I was in middle school I was taught how to throw foot ball and baseball and play tennis and a bunch of sports the only sport I can’t play is soccer I never did learn that one? But I assume I can find a video here and I’ll subscribe here and on my posting channel. I use this one for commenting and watching and the other for everything .
