Italian Bills Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 Hello everybody. As you know i’m from Italy and since more than 30 years i’m a Bills diehard fan also. I have an original football and i would love to learn how to throw it perfectly, with a perfect spiral. When sitting on my armchair i’m able to throw it up very well but if i try to throw the football when i’m in my yard, i can’t have a good spiral. Some advise ? I watched some video but without good results. It seem a stupid request i know, but thanks in advance for your help. 😇🏈🏈🏈 1 3 1 Quote

NI Bills Fan Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 Have you tried bringing the armchair out to the yard? (Sorry Italian Bills... I couldn't resist that one!) 2 17 1 Quote
K D Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 It's not your fault. You probably grew up playing the wrong kind of "football" over there. We probably can't kick a ball as well as you over here so you would have to teach us. My cousins had an exchange student from Spain and he wasn't good at soccer in his country but he came here and he was one of the best players in the area. I'm guessing we could come there and be the best American football players Italy has ever seen. Quote
Poleshifter Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 Try standing up when you throw! It's hard to see on TV, but they say the QB's footwork is critical to throwing the ball properly. 2 Quote

NORWOODS FOOT Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 Snap your wrist downward just as you release the ball 2 Quote
Chandler#81 Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Hold the ball back near the tip with your fingers spread across the laces. I recommend throwing overhand vs sidearm. As you release the ball, it ALL ABOUT the flick of your fingertips. Keep throwing until you find the right fingertip spin to dial in the spiral. I have faith in you. Next week, we’ll work on acuracy.😉👍 Edited October 30, 2022 by Chandler#81 2 1 3 Quote

Huh? What? Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 Italian Bills - Do you have any renderings of how you toss the ball, they may be helpful for the audience... 1 Quote

Pete Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 just watch Josh and do what he does. Any day you should be able to throw 70 yards if you do what Josh does 2 Quote

Pretty good explanation of how Josh throws the ball. Really, only one or two fingers are on the laces. If you put all 5 fingers on the laces you’ll helicopter it (like my daughter when she was 9 years old.) 1 Quote

strive_for_five_guy Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 Looks like you’re getting the advice you’ve requested. Your thread title had me concerned you’d been kidnapped or something more sinister had occurred, happy to be breathing a sigh of relief for you. 😂😂 1 Quote
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 I think you're on the right track already. If you rewind some of Josh's best throws you'll notice he's actually in an armchair. 1 Quote
