How to throw a ball

Question

I can't throw a ball very far. Any tips on how i could learn to throw a tennis/cricket ball further?

Answer 1

you have to work out your arms and build up strength.

Answer 2

Become a man....it's a well known fact that a man throwing with his 'wrong' hand looks just like a woman throwing with her correct hand. Don't believe me?....ask a male friend/relation to throw a ball as far as he can with his correct hand...then with his wrong hand. Is this what you look like when you throw?...Point proven.

Answer 3

eat more, practise more,and get your arm stronger!

Answer 4

It's all in the technique, it has not a great deal to do with strength. Watch how cricket players throw a ball, that should help you work out the correct technique.

Answer 5

it always good to learn to throw with a baseball because they are a good weight and the seams on it are used not just to hold the ball together but where you put your fingers along the ball affects it greatly.

use only your middle, index and thumb when throwing.

when throwing make sure the hand with the ball face the area behind you and make sure your arm is on a 45degree. the rest is pretty hard to explain so you can watch some youtube videos or ask a friend

Answer 6

practise more!!

when u r doing the throw u should be facing the direction u want 2 throw and then pointng the other arm towards the direction u want 2 throw, then lift the arm with the ball higher and a bit backwards (not too much) bring the arm with the ball forward then push ur right leg forward( if u r right handed otherwise is the opposite) then let the ball go.

if u practise well u wld be able 2 do it faster!!

Answer 7

Lots of practice. Get your arm stronger.

Answer 8

first of all you're shoulder part..the joint should be very strong and flexible..then just keep on throwing..
