Default Practice

I actually have usually 10 "practice" balls, mostly white felt or the brown from Miggle. I also color them orange and yellow so as to be able to find them when they stray onto the carpet.

I made a backstop of some fine mesh net attached to two wooden dowels that have on square balsa wood bases so they stand. I will get behind one end zone and set up my net to wrap behind the other end zone and come up to about the 50 yard line on either side, so pretty much half the field I am throwing into is surrounded by net. I then take receivers and set them up in varying spots all alone at different yardages and warm up going from closest to farthest. When I am comfortable doing this for about 20 minutes I will then set up some defenders and try to make completions that way.

I am a two handed passer, I usually use a my left finger in front of the base when space permits to stabilize it. I aim at the base most of the time if it's a wide open pass, if there is coverage I have to aim for the fattest target I can see at the angle I am at.

I am not an expert by no means but this seems to be effective for me. To me the biggest pain about pass practice is finding the **** balls. Once I made my net I am spending more time passing and less hunting balls down.
