The Best QB Throwing Mechanics Video Ever Made

[@SalahSquared]

This video help me a lot, it allowed me to pass for 4612 yards and 47 TDs a new record for my county and my region. Also this video help me and my team go out to the state finals against the Ranger Creek Bears, a team that won the championship 4 times in a row and considered as juggernauts. But we adapted and overcome to win a state championships as underdogs

Hey Coach, great stuff. I had great coaches years ago that trained me this way. I find my self blessed, because it helped me personally in my football carreer. But helps me now knowing somethings may change, but this technique surely doesn't. Thanks again!

[@slickfrictionless]

This is Coach Van Tassel from My Football Mentor. Intermediate to longer throws usually involve a single or double hitch step in your five step drop. The step into your throw combined with good hip and shoulder rotation will increase the distance on your throws. If you are not taking a hitch step, as some throws are five steps and throw only, make sure you are getting the rotation I spoke of and have a good follow through with your arm.

[@ericandi]

Too much editing out of a bunch of instructions. The video jumps all over the place and leaves out a bunch of keys because of the chopping editing.

yeah, it's meant to just give you a glimpse of the full-length video.

[@slickfrictionless]

This is Coach Van Tassel from My Football Mentor. To reply to your post about your arm becoming sore after throwing for a long time, make sure you are warming up properly before you throw and be sure to ice your arm down after throwing for long periods. Any QB can get a sore arm if they throw for a long time. Remember to apply appropriate shoulder rotation when you throw so you are not using all arm. I would suggest buying our videos in order to see what's involved with throwing properly.

[@AliJayShannon]

"If you see a young QB throwing a ball that wiggles, its probably because one of these two reasons" *cuts to next point without telling you the two reasons* Ok then, helpful.

[@quan8786]

understandable have a nice day

[@kaleb1k_173]

I was really looking forward to see what he was going to say 😂

[@Myfootballmentor]

Hi Aahan, If the ball is rotating slowly that means that you are shot putting the ball too much. The ball must roll off of your fingers from your pinkie to your index finger with the index finger being the last finger to leave the ball. the index finger must be pointing towards where you are throwing and the thumb should be down.

[@WeAreBorg359]

Why are the sections cut from the video? Some of the most important parts were edited out of the video....what the hell?

[@Myfootballmentor]

We caught up with coach Cunerty and got him answering your question on video. It's up as a video response for you. He answered exactly why the ball starts turning, and a couple of drills to help you fix it. Hope this helps.

[@Myfootballmentor]

He talks in a little more detail about it in our video "Quarterback Training - The Three Types of Throwers" (just copy and paste it into the KZbin Search box.) Look for videos of Randall Cunningham (where he's not running) and Michael Vick, they're both Slingers.

[@Myfootballmentor]

It does. Sometimes it can be your throwing mechanics that are off. Make sure you've got a correct grip on the ball, and that you're planting your feet correctly before you throw. Sometimes the problem is in your legs, your sternum, and not your hands or arms. Checkout these 2 videos on our QB playlist. *QB Instruction: Play Action Pass *Quarter Back Training: How to Grip a football. Hopefully that helps. Be great!

[@nasfitness805]

Hey Coach, Thank You for taking the time to teach ... you are appreciated... My son is 11 years old and coming along well in the QB position. The reason I'm contacting you is I'm noticing at the youth level most kids have some difficulty in catching the ball. As result of that my son will hesitate his throw. What do u suggest to improve has timing. Can u recommend a drill that will train him to trust what he see's and to release to ball faster ? Thank You again Coach ...

[@Mr.WarthunderGuy]

How are you doing now

[@slickfrictionless]

Wow, this sounds like it could be the best video on throwing mechanics I've seen! There just isn't anything out there on this subject that is very detailed and it certainly sounds like this one is. I've got some youth kids I want to teach and this looks like just the thing!

[@alldayubum]

I was taught to always keep your elbow at a 90 degree angle or at or higher than your nipple lol when throwing the ball ,, good video ,, always having a air pocket in your palm when throwing is crucial too which you explained

[@johnzajac9849]

As the ball begins to come forward in the motion, concentrating on keeping the nose of the ball pointed forward is a key to effective throwing.

[@Myfootballmentor]

We just put up a few more videos with Jeff Garcia a few days ago. There's some really, really good stuff in there for QBs.

When I was in high school my best friend and me were both competing for the qb position. In the winter months we would sit in chairs in the basement and throw to each other for some of our workouts. Every night. In the day time we would throw in the front lawn. We both had a great advantage because even in our practicing we were competitive. We were extremely dedicated and disciplined.

[@fraes2465]

..my best friend and I*

[@rootsmanuva82]

Throwing so your thumb rotates down seems so counterintuitive! I've always thrown so my hand opens up. I'm a lefty, and I'm able to throw a perfect spiral very hard and very far. But I gotta try this technique since every Pro QB throws with their thumb rotating down. I've been doing it wrong all along. (I don't play organized FB).

[@Demonmasterz1999]

This video helped me a lot and after watching this video i went from throwing 154 completions to 218 completions 4132 yards and 36 TDs

Typically, yes, the elbow should at least be at shoulder level. This is only a demo of the full video available on our website so we are not showing all the details involved in the full video.

[@BradDeHaven1]

Key is to give great value in your videos and then have a good following of people via your website or social media.

[@Myfootballmentor]

Angle your front shoulder more upwards when attempting a lob throw

[@dimitrinvs]

I can throw perfectly for about 20-40 yards. anything below or over that range could use work. for some reason my fastest, best spiraled, most accurate passes are in that range. too bad this doesn't even matter, I play linebacker 😂

[@lizlum8850]

yeah i can throw accurately from 0-25 yards with a decent spiral but after that it gets wobbly and my arm hurts

[@MineFreak6545]

I have about a good range of 10-30 yds, but I’ll never use it cause I play in the band

[@felesiahawkins1751]

Wow, if the QB thing doesn't work out sounds like you may have a future at a bunch of other positions with your size! If you go to our website, (myfootballmentor) select the 'Quarterbacks' videos and you'll see a bunch more. Be great Jacob

[@Myfootballmentor]

Hi Aahan, it's difficult to give you advice as we haven't seen video of your throwing mechanics. Our training videos are inexpensive so I'd start there. Also pay attention to how you grip the ball, be sure there is an air gap/space between ball and your palm. Be great.

[@Myfootballmentor]

Hi Filip. It sounds like you have great potential at QB position. Yes, we have several in-depth videos for the position. They range from 14 - 30 minutes in length. See our website: MyFootballMentor

[@hoseco3able]

Hey coach, I found your videos extremely helpfull but I get a sore elbow after throwing the football. It can happen even after 15 minutes of throwing and I do start by warming up. I can tell that something went wrong with my throwing motion when it starts to hurt but I cannot tell what is the thing I am doing wrong. The pain is more like elbow being extremely weak ("dead") and is on the inside of the elbow not outside. Do you know what might be the problem? Thank you very much for your wisdom.

[@Myfootballmentor]

Hi MrKirua31, yes, we'll keep uploading more videos. We love football (and the Chargers) also!

[@wesmiller370]

Hanks you got me the best qb award

[@rsfreak41]

Hello Coach, I love your videos, they are very helpful. Lately I have been noticing my arm becoming soar after throwing the football for a long time. I'm not very tall so i have to throw harder while i consider myself a launcher throwing the ball, is there something you can recommend for me like changing my mechanics. (I do use my legs a lot, even in short passes.)

[@Myfootballmentor]

It's very difficult to say what you are doing wrong by the description you give of "it looks as if I am throwing a dart". Throwing a football starts with the feet, goes to the hips, then the shoulders and lastly the arm. I would suggest purchasing our QB videos as they are great teaching tools. If you are throwing the football like a dart you most likely do not have your feet set correctly as that will diminish all the other mechanics I just mentioned. Also, u can read r blog on "The 7 Eyes"

[@J4miboy]

I'm going to buy the full length video. Does these tips help me to correctly throw the ball to avoid my usual shoulder numbness. I'm really a novice and every time I go throw a ball for more than 30mins I feel sore somewhere just below shoulder.

[@jamal1mayers687]

@My Football Mentor can you make a video about how to be a QB when you are a beginner

[@Myfootballmentor]

Great idea! We'll see what we can do on that.

[@brasidas7]

So, out of the three types, which is the most preferable form? I personally do not like launcher type as that form didn't have enough accuracy - maybe that's me but that's how I always felt. I think I'm pretty close to the puncher type - if at all, I was taught that the throwing motion has to be compact for various reasons.

[@MrKeepnit100]

do you have anything on throwing to a receiver on a slant route? an instruction would be very much appreciated

[@slickfrictionless]

MrKeepnit100 The most important part of throwing a slant route is to have the QB's drop match the route. I would suggest getting coach Cunerty's QB videos at www.myfootballmentor.com as he covers all of those types of mechanics and specifics. There are many variables to throwing a slant route including the type of coverage when running the route...first window read, second window read, and so on...too many to give a simple explanation for.

[@thomasmac3081]

The foot is also important your foot facing away from where you throw should drag or skip. And end at a point with your toes at the ground

[@slickfrictionless]

SparkyXP3, arm strength really is dictated by rotation of the hips to the shoulders. The rotational force you create with the hips and the shoulders increases velocity on your throws. As far as actual arm strength exercises, use cables in your gym by simulating a throwing motion. It doesn't require a lot of weight and do three sets of 20 repetitions twice a week. Coach Van Tassel

[@Myfootballmentor]

We use them because they help people find our other videos. The little speech bubble icon in the player turns them off. Thanks for watching. Be Great!

[@YyMaxyY94]

Thank you so much :) greetings from germany

[@slickfrictionless]

Taylormadeent1, your question didn't get "blown off" as we try to get to all of them if possible but sometimes that is difficult. Tips for a lefty are no different than how you do everything as a right handed thrower. Coach Van Tassel

[@33godamongmen33]

[@Myfootballmentor]

[@acidsnake8]

what fingers has the most pressure points to ensure the pointer is felt when releasing?

[@jefffffers]

Thanks a ton, that is exactly what I needed!

[@slickfrictionless]

Make sure you are not flat handing the ball. In other words, make sure there is a gap between your palm and the ball. This will make sure the ball leaves your hand with the tip of the ball angled properly. See if that helps.

[@danc317]

Very good video for mechanics coach.

[@Myfootballmentor]

You will find that throwing the football with less velocity and more accuracy will de-emphasize your grip. If you are having difficulty gripping the football because of the size of your hands don't be afraid to try gloves. Payton Manning did this because he was having trouble gripping the football in cold weather due to a weaker grip caused by his neck injury.

[@grangerousdesigns4678]

Good information. I wish he would have explained how a launcher QB throws the ball.

[@calebjones438]

Thanks this really help me with my game!

[@alexdinh7957]

I pretty much always get perfect spirals when I throw but after a while my throwing arms shoulder hurts a lot. Like if I try to bring it up sometime I just can’t. Can you give me tips on what I’m doing wrong

[@imateapot51]

Since nobody replied - if you are throwing a perfect spiral you are doing things right. If your shoulder is sore you threw too many. Not everybody has the same shoulder structure. Some are going to be more prone to impingement. When I had shoulder surgery for inflamed bursa sacks, bursitis, the doctor also shaved away some of my glenoid cavity to give my arm more clearance.

[@VegasOwns]

If I had this during last summer I may have started at QB. dang.

[@Sheetalhetal22]

hi i am throwing a spiral for a short distance and it goes really slowly, how can i get the ball to come out of my hand a lot faster and just have more velocity on it. also, what is the trick to throwing a perfect spiral and what are some quick tips to improve my throwing motion?

[@Myfootballmentor]

Lastly, if you are a freshman and are now throwing a bigger football than what you were use to in youth football, it will just take a bit of time to adjust to a larger ball.

[@acidsnake8]

ah tnx very helpful tips i'll try them out. but can a launcher also be a slinger? where i can through it with a high release but from the cock position i now tend to let the ball other end point away from my body. also can a 130 lbs throw 60 yards what is the avg. yards if a person weighs like this tnx.

[@Myfootballmentor]

Hi Torretta13, you can grab the full length video on our website, the video above is just a short sample. Be great!

[@cflargofan]

YOU ARE A FOOTBALL GOD!!!

[@Myfootballmentor]

First of all you want to make sure you are not over-gripping the football or using a "death grip" as Coach Cunerty mentions. You don't have to grip the ball as tightly as you might think in order to throw it properly. Also, take something off of your throws. Don't try and throw the football too hard. Bill Walsh use to say that it's not how hard you throw but how accurately. It's much more difficult to throw accurately when you try and throw too hard.

[@CBRYDR]

Shouldnt the elbow be higher than the shoulder through the throw?

[@slickfrictionless]

Not really as they are two different throwing motions. The launcher keeps the elbow in tight and the follow through is high and above the head. The slinger tends to let the elbow extend out from the body more, the ball is not above the head, and he will turn the point of the ball out as he draws his arm back. Watch video of Michael Vick as the slinger and Tom Brady as the launcher. We suggest that you work on the style that feels most comfortable and natural for you.

[@Sheetalhetal22]

When I release the football, a lot of the times it feels like i dont have complete control over the release of the ball and therefore I lose a lot of accuracy. Does this sound like a problem you guys have encountered before?

[@Myfootballmentor]

It could be a few things. Why don't you take some video of you throwing and leave it as a video response? This way we can give you exact feedback, other than general suggestions?

[@jefffffers]

When I throw the ball I get a great spiral, but the ball often rotates about 30 degrees on a lateral plane while traveling to the intended target. In every other fashion the ball travels as it should, but usually the tip of the football starts out slightly to the left of the receiver and ends up pointing slightly to his right. What could be causing this?

[@CanadianJourney97]

I recently went from DL, (220) to De, and since my knee blew out last season I have been working on QB, Now. (185) 6'3 I can run, deal out big hits and run linebackers over. But, My throwing.... I do perfect throws, then I do bad ones I cant be consistent. and Lots of time, its because I release the ball slightly to easy and I know I am, How do I avoid that???
