When You Guy's Pass (What Do You Aim For?)

[mantaraydre]

ALL YOU GREAT PASSERS OUT THERE


When you pass what do you aim for, the base, or the players torso ?

which has a better success rate ?



also, how far is your tilt over a lineman in your face ? do you angle the ball down or still leave it facing upwards for you angle /


pic's please



thanx

there have been stuff on this before....do a search on passing and find a post by Wolf ....he even has pictures.....

however, to answer your question, when practice is at hand - try some of these concepts to help you get going........

1 - start with just your TTQB and WR and place him ... 20yd from the QB
start passing it to him (20-30 times) this will help you "read" your QB and you will find the "sweet spot" from there it's all down hill...


2 - next - add more receiver at various positions on the field (where they could end up after stopping the play) distances can be any distance throw to each the same number of times like step 1.....you should be feeling good about now......

3 - add the o-line and repeat step 2 - this will be the first of the minor adjustments that will increase your skills....

4 - add the D-line and repeat

5 - add defenders all over the place.... some close to the WR, some 5 yds in front, some 5 yds behind....use your imagination to position the defense - repeat step 2.....

if you practice passing in this excerise, you will gain some of the skills you will need to have passing the ball.

I don't aim at anything.

Honestly. I don't.

We use the passing target in the BMEFA (just in place of the receiver to throw to, we don't use the NHFL passing system).

I take my quarterback, line it up behind the target, and move it straight back. If I've done everything correctly, it's only a matter of putting the QB at the right angle to get the ball there on time. Occasionally, I miss a shade left or right, but it doesn't happen very often.

Saturday, having not thrown in a couple months, I missed my first two passes vs. Adrian, one just left low, the next just right low. In that game and the next, I didn't miss again.

Take the thought out of it, and you will be one with the air attack, young Jedi.

I aim at the lights on the ceiling. The way I pass I stand just as good a shot of hitting the target aiming there as I do pointing it at the reciever.

Since I throw more interceptions than completions, I learned to aim for the defender and hope my guy intercepts it.

Dre! In the DFW our passers are highly skilled. Passing techniques become strategic and in some cases can be the difference between a player going out of bounds or taking it to the house.

The question was do we aim for the base or torso? If he is headed out of bounds and we want to turn him up field, we obviously aim for the base. If a defender is near and the base angle is cut off then the torso is obviously the better and safer option. In some cases when there is no angle our guys are skilled enough to hit the figure on the head. After a bit of practice it's easy to figure how far to tilt the QB. You begin to understand the distance and velocity you need to throw with after hours, days, months and years of practice.
