QB Throwing Mechanics Q&A - Why Does the Ball Turn as it Falls

[@TheRealJamafrican]

Thanks a lot. That's been bugging me for some time now.

[@Myfootballmentor]

Yeah. We asked coach Cunerty about this, and before we were even done telling him what the question from our viewer was, he immediately knew what the problem was. Apparently this is a super common problem.

i do nasty 2 seams at low 80s and this explains my issue when throwing the ball. i mean i can still launch it far-ish but i've always felt the turning on the ball is taking some kick off

[@cocoablini]

Good explanation of how core rotational force is translated to the smaller release areas. If you can transfer massive forces straight through your index finger smoothly...that's a nice spiral

[@renanlinard7]

Thank you very much, coach! It helped me a lot, God bless you!

[@connectfootballsportz3700]

[@allycleveland5195]

[@jefffffers]

I have a problem with throwing the ball far, i can't throw futher than 25 yards. Any certain exercises or tips you can give me, coach?

[@beachboy5660]

i have a problem. instead of my arm being in the L position. sometimes i will collapse close to my head. i also sometimes wrap around my head. i have long arms. i have trouble letting the ball being in the L right at my head so my receiver can't see the ball wrapped around my head. it's hard to fix this. this is a really bad problem with me because i didn't do it until i got hurt. i'm 14. and a freshman next year. i have real potential i just need help fixing this problem.

ive been throwing the rock wrong for 15 yrs

[@Ipodrobostastic]

Hey I understand about how the ball will curve & how to do my mechanics & everything but I'm left handed so everytime I throw a football it naturally curves idk why could u give me some help or advice? thank you (:

[@jameslake5137]

I'm a lefty quarterback so if you still need help, I'm here.

[@Ipodrobostastic]

+James Lake yes I still need some assistance

[@jameslake5137]

+jahan flemons I used to have that same problem. My Coach told me to keep my arm in the "C" and I'd have an A+. So what he meant was if you still feel like your passes are curving, what you want to do is keep your arm in a "C" shape so that your wrist stays straight and the ball flies evenly. Do you get what I mean?

[@Ipodrobostastic]

yes I get exactly what you mean

[@jameslake5137]

Have you tried it yet? If yes, how does it work for you? I can try to give other tips as well if the previous one isnt enough

[@HenryTheBoilermaker3rdYear]

This is taking me more than 3 days to fix and havent fix it yet. But not 3 minutes for me :-(
