Big Turk Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Try putting your thumb underneath the ball and your index finger in between the first and second lack(with your index finger barely touching the back part of the first lace), and then spread out your fingers to go in between the laces. You want to feel the ball solidly remain balanced when you hold it, not tilted either forward or backwards. Then when you go to throw it, snap and twist your wrist as you let the ball go, which imparts spin on the ball and should eventually produce a nice spiral once you practice it enough.

Simms already has this guy in his top 40... Well, in their defense, they weren't wrong about the last guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 3 hours ago, Nextmanup said: Put the tips of your fingers along the laces on the football. Let the ball roll off the ends of your fingers as you throw. The idea is to impart a spin on the ball. If the ball is spinning tightly, it will go straight. This is good advice. If you watch some Youtube videos, I'm sure you'll be able to see the technique. But a warning: not all QB grips the ball exactly the same way. Every human hand is a bit different and some QBs have their own personal preferences. How many fingertips you have on the strings and how far your fingers overlap the strings may be somewhat different from whatever vid you watch. Like BringBackFergy, I used to only have 2 fingers on the laces. Malcolm Gladwell says you can master any task with 10,000 hours of practice. Get busy and good luck!

Buffalo716 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Well as someone who has played football and coached quarterbacks for a long time I will say there’s not one motion Everybody’s different From your classic over the top like Jim Kelly To a three-quarter SideArm like Philip Rivers Me personally as a lefty, I’ve always had a three-quarter SideArm delivery… Yet great spiral and touch The biggest key is finding the correct grip for your hand size on the ball… What feels the best between the laces Quick snappy motion …. The softer you toss the harder it is to throw a spiral… So if you put some juice behind it and Snap your wrist at the release it will greatly help Not to mention all the foot work stuff that we could get into but that’s not important right now Find the grip and release that feels good to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert James Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I suggest posting of video showing us how you are currently throwing the football. Then let all of us send our corrections/instructions. That should be helpful. O almeno divertente! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Find a grip you’re comfortable with and don’t hold the ball flat against the palm. This will help the ball roll off the fingers for tight spirals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
