How to Throw a Football Farther

Quick story time:
A year ago I had surgery on my ACL & didn’t do much for a few weeks following the procedure. When I finally returned to throwing, my arm strength dramatically decreased & I couldn’t figure out why. I was struggling to throw just 50 yards. It wasn’t until I relearned how to actually use the speed & acceleration of my hips in my throw that I started to climb back up in arm strength & overall velocity. The timing of the turn to the release of the ball can’t be emphasized enough. Just pay close attention to any nfl qb & you will see. They leverage their big muscles to accelerate the ball. When u figure out how to do this consistently & effectively, your life as a qb/football thrower will change. As of recent, I’ve been focusing on & applying these concepts I talk about in this video every time I play catch/train. I’m a good athlete already & can throw tf out of the ball, but since really focusing on the specific timing of the sequence & some of the positions that are favorable for power generation, I’ve seen significant measurable progress in a short amount of time. I made this video because I know most of you probably aren’t where you want to be when it comes to arm strength, but that doesn’t mean everything can’t change for you. I hope this video puts you on the right path to figuring it out for yourself 🙏

Dimes, you have helped me be a better Quarterback thanks bro❤️

[mozizsupposes]

Great content, I would appreciate if you could share more about your throwing technique. I think your throwing motion is one of the best I’ve seen online … it has less of a baseball coil and you load the ball faster than what I’ve been seeing online.

bro thank you i've struggled throwing in the past and it's kinda embarrassing not being able to throw but because of this video I've gotten way better. Thank you.

10 year old daughter started playing flag football this spring. Definitely been watching these technique videos, hoping to see more content and hopefully some youth qb drills!

We keep getting better every day, especially with the advice Dimes have been giving us.

Thanks so much. My 5th grader can deadlift twice his bodyweight, but couldn't translate that into throwing a football. Coming from a martial arts family the example with boxing was the key. After watching your video this afternoon, we went out to practice, and he no kidding nearly doubled his effective distance!!

Bro I’m subbing not only because you’ve taught me how to throw more than 40 yards but because you helped a lot of my friends, thanks man❤

[cadendybowski]

You really help me I’m a player going into high school who wants to try for qb and your videos really help thank you

[mathislapointe]

Really great advice! Going to try to implement that timing with my front foot when I throw. Never thought of it that way. Thanks a lot!

my mom got mad at me for playing catch in parking lot thx for advice dude

[dannyhuerta]

Seems like I now know how to throw farther because of this video but I’m left-handed instead of right handed

[blaacktoxic]

Hey i am a german QB and you helped me lot improving my throwin´g technique. But i have big trouble to get my hips in sync with my upperbody. Especially my throwing arm. Do you have one or two more drills to get this fixed?
Thanks a lot for your videos an keep it up!

[Birb_]

Thanks for all the useful tips while making the vids entertaining!

Great informative content. Best of luck with growing the channel.

I’m curious on what your max throwing distance is. Also, do you think adding on weight can drastically increase throwing distance if you transfer that mass into the throw with great technique. Adding good weight and filling out a frame I mean, say a skinny person putting on 30-50 pounds on a 6’3” frame.

[seyanpanjwani]

Does height matter in a qb? I’m prolly like 5’5-5’6 and I can only launch it about 35 yards. But when I watch other nfl qbs throw 50 yards I feel like I can do it too but then when I step on the field, I realize how far it is and can’t even get it to 40

Gabe, this video is really excellent dude

[AyushAnugam]
