    This is Coach Van Tassel from My Football Mentor. Your thumb should actually be the first finger to leave the ball and the index finger is the last finger to leave the ball. The ball should roll off your fingers from the pinkie to the index finger in order. This is how you create rotation on the ball.

    As you know, most QBs don't wear glove on throwing hand. Curt Warner, Philip Rivers and a few others. We usually recommend not to use gloves unless it makes a STRONG difference in your throwing. At the end of day it all comes down to your decision & confidence.
    Play great

    Yes, you can move your fingers to the laces that feel the most comfortable to you. The Pittsburgh Steelers' multiple Superbowl winning quarterback, Terry Bradshaw, use to put his index finger on the tip of the ball. He threw one of the nicest spirals of any QB!

    Thank you for this video. I've been wanting to learn the proper grip but never found any book or video that explained how to throw a football, never mind as good as your description.

    You're a heck of a coach mister Cunerty, helped my throwing motion a great deal!

  • @Myfootballmentor
    @Myfootballmentor  11 лет назад

    The bulk of the power from your throw comes from your sternum (rotational force) and your legs. If you focus on working on your strength in those areas and your fundamentals, you should have a good shot at being able to throw 60 yards.

    We always like underdogs! You'll have to work twice as hard as the average guy and work on your technique a lot! Hip rotation, etc. Anything is possible.

    What do you think about wearing a glove on your throwing hand?

  • @BrockMak
    @BrockMak 6 лет назад

    Holders, esp. backup QB's, have to find the opposite side of the seam so the kicker can't hit them and cause the ball to get funky trajectories.

    There is no exact way to grip the football as there are even some QB's who don't even grip the laces. Whatever is comfortable for you is fine as long as you are able to pass the ball effectively. I would recommend, however, gripping the ball with your ring finger on the second lace instead. This will place your hand more towards the back of the ball versus in the middle of it. Doing this will help you to throw a spiral more effectively and with more velocity.

    Hey Coach, when i throw the ball, should my thumb be the 4th finger that leaves the ball? If not, please tell me the order for all the fingers. Thanks!

  • @FreshNoope
    @FreshNoope 11 лет назад +1

    Hey coach. When I throw a spiral my ball rotates correctly but the point of the ball always point of the ball turns right and the end of the ball turns left. So when i throw the ball it does fly straight forward but it's turned a few degrees away from it's path. How can i fix that? PLEASE REPLY you will make my day, Thank you :)

  • @Myfootballmentor

    It's probably something with your physical grip of the ball. Everyone's different.

    can i grip the football with my small hands like the first 3 is out of the laces only the pinky is touching the 3rd lace it like its called 0 and 3rd,rather than 1st and forts or 2nd and fifth???

  • @ricardovera116
    @ricardovera116 11 лет назад

    I'm 5'6". My hand size is probably barely 5". I can throw a full size ball pretty well. Would I ever physically be able to throw a football 60 yards or farther?

  • @SaikoW1
    @SaikoW1 5 лет назад

    Ur very understandable but every time i throw the ball goes like 30 yards spinning but the point of it is pointing right (i throw with my right) it goes straight but it points to the right while spinning and going straight what is the problem? I think i flick to hard or something
