hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today we're going to be going over how
to throw a consistent spiral we're going to start the video right now
okay so i've been getting a lot of messages lately of people really struggling in throwing
the spiral and you know whether it ends up being more like a duck or going more to one side
you know just having a real issue in throwing the football consistently and so i just want to go
over a few things that can be contributing to any type of struggle with throwing a spiral the first
thing i want to go into is how you're actually holding the football so you can see with me
i got two fingers off the laces two fingers kind of on the laces i'm just trying to spread my
fingers out i try to get that index finger pretty high and and the big thing that i really want you
to understand is like when you're holding this you know you want to think of it it's like a
baby it almost has like the same shape ahead of a lot of babies as many of you should know
when you're holding a baby you have to be nice and gentle you don't want to be holding it all
tight and squeezing it really tight and a lot of you guys are just holding the football way
too tight right think of it like you know you want to have protection when you're holding a baby you
don't want it to be all over the place and falling right when you're when you're holding a baby you
don't want to just fall over but at the same time we don't want to be squeezing it and squeezing
the life out of the football or squeezing the life out of the baby so think of it like you're you're
holding and protecting baby when you're actually holding onto the ball the next big thing is going
to be the arm path and this is really important because i see a lot of people mess this up
and really what ends up being the biggest problem i think is the consistency of the arm action so
when you're going through the throw there wants to be a consistent kind of arm action that that we're
going through or one consistent motion right so the more that we end up going here or here so the
further we kind of get off of this path the ball path then the more difficulty there is going to be
in throwing a consistent spiral that ends up being the biggest thing is that you know when you're not
throwing a spiral consistently it's because you're changing up the mechanics so sometimes
you know when you're trying to make some specific adjustments within your mechanics is actually a
good thing to see some degree of change within your spiral because that means you're actually
making change within your mechanics but if you're somebody who is just trying to work on throwing a
consistent spiral then i would say that there is too much difference between one throw to the next
in terms of your mechanics which is making it so you're struggling with throwing consistent spiral
and then if that ends up being the case which probably a big part of that is that when you're
throwing you're just way off with your actual motion of the football the football wants to be
able to have this kind of throwing plane that it's going through and so when you end up going too far
back here or over to the side here it's going to be a lot more difficult to be consistent with
how the ball comes out of your hand and as always guys if you like the information go ahead and
click that thumbs up down below subscribe to the channel if you aren't already and if you
need questions comments or recommendations you can leave those down below we're gonna hop right
back in the video the next thing goes into how the ball is leaving your hand so when the ball
is actually leaving your hand you want to be here and there's like a rotation that's happening in
your hand right so you're here and you're turning the hand so it's kind of moving like that but and
that's before you actually release it then when you release it it wants to be pushing with that
index finger and then rotating through and then the arm what's becoming across right so i'll show
you going facing you guys so it's here right we're bringing the ball here i'm rotating so the nose of
the football is facing straight ahead i'm getting that elbow to come all the way through and then
i have that nose of the football facing towards you and then from here i'm pushing with my index
finger okay so my index finger ends up being the last thing that comes up actually out towards you
and then i'm coming down from there i'm not going like that right i'm going like that not like that
like that as i'm actually releasing the ball and so those are really the three main things that go
into it you know and there's a lot of people that i would say you probably are doing all
three of those things you're probably holding the football too hard you're probably not getting the
ball in a consistent throwing plane right you're getting it too far off to the side and not getting
keeping that ball in that on that consistent plane and when you're real quick when you do
that you know there are going to be some slight times where the ball is not going to go perfectly
in that alignment but it wants to be able to if it's off for a second it wants to be right back
onto that plane you just want to have a lot of time where like the ball is back behind your head
or you don't want to be releasing with the ball way out away from your body either all right and
then the last thing is when the ball is coming off of your hand you're probably not making it so
the wrist flick is consistent right you might be every once in a while getting that you know good
wrist flick and and making it so you're releasing with that index finger coming back and through
and you know even with those when you do that one out of ten that might not be a consistent
throw it has to make it so you can do that you know eight out of ten times and then you'll be
able to start to understand how to throw a consistent spiral but again you know this
is a very delicate thing the football is very delicate it's like a baby like i said
so if you are not treating it correct it's going to wind and scream and not be a good spiral so you
have to be able to treat it nicely and be able to be very consistent in the treatment of it
in order for you to get the result that you're wanting to get i'm going to do a
couple of throws so you guys could actually see what throwing the spiral looks like
all right those are gonna be the three keys of throwing a consistent spiral again if you like
the information click that thumbs up down below subscribe to the channel that really
helps us out a ton and then check out some of the links in the description to be able to see
more about our programs or doing a zoom session our individual sessions i'm adding a lot more
value to all of those things just to make it so you're able to get much more out of it i'm trying
to help your quarterbacks get so much better here you know especially in the 2021 season i want to
see a ton of quarterbacks have a ton of success within our program and so i'm working as hard as
i can to make it so you're able to understand coverages have the right mindset have stronger
shoulders stronger upper body better range of motion the core i have a great understanding of
what you need to work on it with from a mechanic perspective be able to throw it to the right go
to the left everything that you need to be able to do improve your throwing distance everything's
going to be great check out the program i really recommend you guys doing that i'm going to over
deliver on that 100 we're gonna do zoom sessions we're gonna do breakdowns we're gonna meet one
on one i'm gonna make sure that you get a ton out of that so if you want to check that out down in
the description or we can just do an individual zoom session if that is a little bit more cost
effective for you it'd be great to connect with you guys for the zoom session i think those are
hugely beneficial have some time one-on-one to be able to talk about everything that has to
do with being a quarterback it's not always about mechanics it's also a lot deeper than
that a lot of times and so i want to be able to talk to you as much as i can and help you guys
out as much as you can so check all that out in the description like the video talk to you soon
