Dimes got the cleanest mechanics and smoothest spiral - beautiful how it cuts through the air

[@CooperTyner]

​@@heha3525NFL players have to have major talent. Idk how old he is or if he has any awareness. NFL QBs also have to have good awareness, IQ, good legs, strength, etc. He definitely has the arm, but idk about the other stuff because he doesn't show videos against a pass rush etc.

Great vid, I think the most important thing is Rhythm because everyone is going to have slightly different mechanics but once you get in a rhythm it’s hard to be stopped.

[@dimes.]

Facts. Rhythm’s importance can’t be overstated 💯

Omg, I’m subbing instantly. Thank you so much, your teaching is the best. So unbelievable, before I watched this video, my throwing sucks. But after watching, all of my passes are spiraling. Plus I can throw it much more further.

I’m always the qb when my friends are playing since I have more experience and since I watched all of your shorts on how to throw a spiral I decided to just watch how your spirals move in the air very beautiful

[@tommy.vercetti2003]

I have never thrown an American football 🏈, I play Futbol ⚽️ and im watching this 100% focused idk why 💀

[@johnzajac9849]

We found that placing the forefinger of the hand as close to the rear point of the ball always helps to keep the nose of the ball forward and toward the target. At 02:37, see where Rodgers placed the forefinger.

[@dimes.]

True, but I also think it just depends on how all of the variables line up. Different release angles, wrist positions, & timing all can impact what the most optimal grip is for any individual qb, but index finger towards the point is typically great advice 👍

[@Javalipapere]

Great class buddy

Grip strength advice, AND how to gain more power (arm strength) for heavy over the top throwers. PLEASE!!

[@dimes.]

I've been doing boxing workouts for my wrist/grip strength & it has been helping me a lot. I recommend searching up hand/wrist movements to do using a bucket full of rice as the resistance 🙌

Common W dimes

[@REIDiculous64]

I find for me the main times I don’t get a spiral is because the ball comes off my fingers bad, usually due to bad grip. A good way to get a good spiral is play with wet or cold hands which forces you to pay close attention to your grip and how the ball is leaving your hand.

[@Chris-kf1jd]

Reminds me of something, my freshman coach used to say, “Weiss, get your hands off your left cherry and pay attention.” something like that;) Absolutely hilarious dude, “quit standin’ around like a gyad dam hooker” was another favorite. Thickest Chicago accent you’ve ever heard, my friends and I still greet each other in his voice when we see each other even decades apart. Great video, trying to learn right for once to teach my kid ;).

Hey dimes, I recently broke my collarbone when I got sacked. I was wondering if you could tell me how to fall from a tackle properly.

[@steveosborn7224]

Dude what advice do you have for guys with small hands? So I used to keep m fingers all pretty close together. Ring finger in the first lace and pinky on the third. My passes are accurate but always have a slight twist in the back end. So watching the nfl guys they almost all have their finger spread apart far. Finger nearly on the tip of the ball. This was very different from my grip. But trying it I sort of got used to it briefly and my passes appeared prettier. Now out of the blue I’m throwing terrible balls. Like I’ve nearly got a mental block or something happening. Throwing lots of ducks now.

[@dimes.]

Start from the top & work your way down the list of spiral priorities. Always remember the key point - keeping it in the same position as u release & add spin to it. Make sure the top variables that allow this to happen are consistent (hand accelerating thru release, wrist locked, light grip, smooth release). It may take some time, but eventually it will come back together 🤝

[@tiktokdances-roblox9817]

I wanna see dimes and bg2fast collab man that would be sick

@Dimes Is there any one using Wilson Ignition Football Yet? I did ask Wilson ball Rep at the Collage Park & asked about the Wilson Ignition & the the Wilson ball Rep told that the Ignition balls will be White & Used for all Flag football games . So Dose any one have the Wilson Ignition & like playing with it?

Not that I know of, I need to get my hands on one tho

If u are serious & u really want to do the things u want to do, NOTHING should hold u back or make u quit. Spend the time, energy, & attention to fully understand what you are trying top accomplish. I just posted a new vid today, check it out (I think it will help u a lot) 🙏

Is there anything different to do if you have smaller hands

[@toughchampionz2875]

Ima be honest I’m very small with small hands but I’m still the best qb in my group of friends so just practice with the drills he told you in this video

[@dimes.]

Nope, just practice staying in control & do your best. It’ll work out if u put the time in

[@dylanvesel2740]

What should I do if my hands are too small to leave a pocket in between the ball and my hand

[@chaseonyt2773]

Just focus on the wrist extension, and if you can’t dont worry, it should develop over time. or use a smaller ball

[@dimes.]

It shouldn’t be a big pocket & the pocket is created from using your fingers

[@Pluhtheblud]

Does your shoulder hurt when you throw the ball?

[@Magicalplayer-ws2ez]

That’s for in person, people don’t pick stuff up as easily in the internet so I stick to the simple concepts here. & if your fundamentals are tight, it shouldn’t be too big of an issue

[@drbonesshow1]

More nonsense terms from football throwing "experts": (1) Effortless. Better said as less wasted effort. (2) Perfect spiral. Thanks to gravity and air-friction all spirals feature precession and nutation physical effects connected to angular momentum and torgue that football throwing "gurus" know nothing about. Better said as a tighter spiral. Watch where you step it might be in some guru.

[@dimes.]

Aye man please stfu 😂 U always pop up out of nowhere in my comments trying to flex your "phd expertise" with random input that kids can't even understand. Meanwhile there are 10,000's of kids with NO resources to learn (just as I once was) & I'm putting forth the effort to help them out. Instead of always talking shxt, why don't u go make a better video 😂I'll never understand people like u lol
