what's up everyone morey croson here and today we're going to
be going over the wrist flick in slow motion and the video starts right now
okay so i made a video like this in the past and i realized that you know going into the actual wrist
flick you know was not really as good as i think i've done in the past and so i just wanted to go
ahead and do another video here just to be able to really slow it down so this is in extra slow
motion so you could see clearly how the ball ends up coming out of my hands as well as being able
to go into the setup before you go into the wrist flick just because that's important as well before
i use my treadmill the side of the treadmill as a place to hold the arm i do think it's a little
bit better to probably have you know more of like a hand position here and i do think it's really
important to actually work on just the wrist flick and just kind of the end there just to really feel
how to do this well i went through probably 10 15 throws all together with this to be able to
really feel what that wrist flick wants to feel like and you can see here as i'm going through um
even in this one which is one of the better ones i still am a little bit back with my my hand right i
still don't get my hand all the way up and through as much as i want to you can see i'm trying to be
very specific in how i have my wrist and where i get the ball kind of set up as the ball ends up
coming out of my hand um you know i went through and this one was not as good i went through a few
different ones here but i really want to be able to create more rotation a little bit more rotation
as the ball is coming off of my hand and also want to be able to kind of get the ball to come
down a little bit more with that nose as it's leaving my my hand and my finger but you can see
some of the things that i focused on here which is how the ball in my hand was moving before
the ball released out of my hand so you know i don't want the ball to come out before
my hand is even with my elbow right so you can see how my hand is getting right even with my elbow as
the ball kind of releases there that was like a big thing for me to focus on i'm really trying to
get plenty of wrist flick as the ball is leaving my hand and i'm trying the best that i can not
to make it so i have too much downward movement on the ball and also not too much rotational movement
on the ball but really a little bit of both as the ball is approaching leaving my hand here and and
it was a little bit harder to actually get the the side to side movement of it right i kind of relied
a lot more on the upper and down motion which is unique to me because usually when i throw i have a
little bit more of that kind of lateral movement going on but it just didn't feel as good to get
that that lateral movement as i was practicing practicing on it here uh but you can't see
you know some of again the key points that we want to be able to do and i really think the best thing
to be able to work on with this is getting that elbow position in the spot that we want it to get
to right so you can see how that elbow is facing straight ahead we see a lot of guys that end up
releasing with the ball and elbow way off to the side specifically the ball right the elbow might
be close but then the ball is way over here this is a great drill to be able to help you in getting
that ball right over the elbow okay and then really working on being able to concentrate on
when the ball is leaving the hand making sure that you're able to maintain the best wrist position
and hand position you can't even see my hands a little bit bent over to the side there and you
know again this is something that i i worked on and you know trying to get a good overall spiral
it felt pretty good as it was leaving my hand but you know i'd go even today after watching this
video and would work on being able to get my hand a little bit more upright to make it so as the the
ball is releasing i'm able to do it um in exactly the position that you know i want it to be in
when it's leaving my hand during the throw so um this is again something that i think is hugely
important for quarterbacks because you know in a 60-90 minute session that you guys are typically
going through when it comes to either working with uh at a practice or with a coach or um you know
having any type of game and for games and for some of even like the uh tournaments you guys go to it
ends up being you know hours that you're throwing and you know putting a lot of stress on the arm
on the you know brain on the body to be able to perform at a high level doing exercises like this
really primes your body to be very connected and understanding what is going to be the most
efficient thing to be able to do in order to throw the ball accurately and to also put the most power
and velocity and also take the most pressure off of the arm so you know simple drills like these
i think are hugely important to do on a fairly regular basis to really stay connected to how the
ball is leaving your hand uh you know you could also do drills where you are bringing that elbow
all the way through you know also doing drills and how you're pushing off the back leg and using that
back hip do drills on how you're loading through that front front foot and front leg and the more
often that you do these the better your body will actually be receptive in understanding how to
you know go through the actual motion of throwing the football and i think that ends up being the
biggest thing here guys is that the people that are able to stay consistent with it are going to
end up having the most long-term success so you're not always going to see a result immediately you
know you should feel improvement you should feel more connection in your throw you should have a
better understanding of how your body is working synergistically to maximize throw performance
but you might not see all the huge results as quickly as you want to but i can guarantee you
as you consistently put effort and time into it you will start to see a improvement over
time and that's really what you're going after i know for you know again for me i'm i'm going
more into the sprinting side right now and being able to work on that and you know i've put in
you know probably three or four months of work and you know really in the last two three days
have started to see huge improvement right so um it sometimes works out like that and that
is just the way that the world works and there's nothing i could really do about it but just stay
consistent and that's what i would say with you guys just stay consistent you might not always be
seeing tremendous results right away but the more consistency you put into it the more the world's
going to end up reshaping and reforming to what it is that you are trying to accomplish we're trying
to do and so just you know discipline consistency that's what's important highly recommend you guys
really staying you know confident what you're doing and the more that you practice something
the more confidence you're going to have and the more belief you're going to have so keep working
on it keep getting better i know there might be frustrations especially around the wrist even
for me i mean i work and talk about the wrists all the time and to see this you know not being
perfect makes me a little bit frustrated but it just shows that even me who puts a ton of time and
energy and effort into this specifically and i've seen great results from a quarterback perspective
um and i still have a lot more work to do so i'm gonna keep putting the work in i hope you do as
