  3. mindfku says:

    wrong , you did not even throw the football….

  4. superdidoper says:

    @TboneI989 I have that problem too but one problem that could be causing the football to turn is that you release early and your not getting the proper 90 degrees

  5. TheAndycandy says:

    that is correct but there’s one step he missed -but he does do it in his motion. you turn the ball outward at the beginning of your forward-motion and it gives and extra snap and 3-5 yards to it. you may see that when you try this, the ball has a horrible spiral, you’re then doping something wrong, and if you get it right, the spiral will be excellent and your throw will be perfect.:)

    @lakersniners2452 : the exact same thing happened to me too when i started throwing..but then i just started to angle the ball to the left and throw it and it comes out straight..not consistently though.,.

  7. sirlarry1998 says:

    how long does it take to throw a good spiral everytime???

  8. lakersniners2452 says:

    can anyone help? i can throw a spiral but the nose of the ball ends up facing to the right and the back end of the ball kinda slides out the back its so frustrating cause it spirals all right the nose just faces towards the right

    @wasdud9 I mean that’s how Tom Brady teaches people to throw a football. But you probably know more than him.

    @HighlandCountyDiesel
    not really that works for about five throws then all your throws are off and your shoulder hurts

  11. JAKECROCKETT7 says:

    he’s telling you how to throw short and very accurately. which is a problem. they way he does it its almost impossible to throw into coverage accurately. which sometimes you have to do. and you need to know how to do it when the situation presents itself. The truth is that you do need to be a bit wild in your throws to throw off the defender. because trust me by the second quarter or second half they know how you throw. and all of a sudden those first down throws become a pick six.

  15. TjTsjc1 says:

    @vexeddino
    me to and thats why I’m here haha

  16. XxRuthlessx1 says:

    About time I found some that explains better.

  17. vexeddino says:

    I’m so accurate and can throw the tightest spiral but I can only throw the football about 30 yards :(

  18. Gamezero05 says:

    Throwing a football isn’t hard… the most important thing is how to properly let the ball roll off of your fingertips.

    Being a baseball player, it was natural for me to throw a football. Being a basketball player, it was natural to let the football roll property off my fingers and flick my wrist.

    But until somebody showed me specifically how to do it with a football, I could never get that really accurate, tight spiral.

    It’s like the final piece of the puzzle.

  19. ultislasher1 says:
