I have REALLY small hands and need to learn how to throw a perfect spiral for football... help?

Question

I wear a size 7 shoe, if that tells you anything lol. My hands are the size of a girl's hand, really small from all that masturbation lol.

I need to know how to throw a spiral with the proper finger placement on the lacings and what exactally to do. I can spiral it sometimes, but I dont really know how to throw it right. Do I use my shoulder when throwing the ball or my elbow?

Answer 1

both,if that helps!lol

Answer 2

Grip the ball toward the end; WAY near the end. The circumference is smaller there, and that's actually where a lot of NFL QBs grip it anyway.

Finger placement is going to vary a bit according to your comfort level, but try your ring finger being the only one on the laces, between the last two cross-stitches in the laces.

Steady the ball in your grip with your "off" hand, and pull it away as you begin your throwing motion. (You'll need this less as you get more comfortable throwing, but it's a nice 'training wheel' until then.) Remember not to "push" the ball but to let it roll off your fingers, thus achieving the "spiral" motion.

You should be holding the ball about head-high when you release it, pulling your arm forward with your chest muscle and propelling it forward with your elbow/triceps. The need for this upper-body strength is why girls often can't throw spirals.

Go outside, try it, and if you throw a spiral or at least feel like you'll get the hang of it ... 10 points please! :)

Answer 3

Very very very easy....throw a Nerf. I have small hands too...it' the only way. I'm quite athletic but I can't throw a spiral with a real ball.

Answer 4

Try putting only your ring and pinky fingers on the laces and see how that goes.
