Novice Video


As you can see in this video the novice has the wrong foot forward. You want to lead your throw with the opposite foot that you throw with forward. You can see he also does dont bend his legs to get a good push to throw the ball.

Expert Video



In this video you can see how the ball is kept up high and in control. The grip needs to be gentle and soft to help get the ball out fast. While your throwing the ball you shift your weight to the back foot and lean back then explode foward releasing the ball high and putting your weight on the front foot.

Phase 1 (Stance)

During your stance you want to have your legs slightly bent at the tibiofemoral joint. You want to keep good protection of the ball by keeping it close to your head. Have your pinkie, ring, and middle fingers around the laces with your index finger on the strap.

Phase 2 (Prep stage)

In Prep Stage of the throw you want to keep your eyes on the target by pivoting at the waist squaring up your shoulders to your reciever. Remember to keep a loose grip to help get that tight spiral.


Phase 3 (Movement)

During this stage your center of gravity will be shifted from the back foot to the front foot. This will help build momentant and allow for a faster throw. You need to make sure to finish the motion and snap your wrist to the ground to help build up a tight fast spiral. You want to follow through with your throw so at the end of  it your hand will be supinated and flexed towards the ground.
