Low elbow? Wide armslot? This is one of the fastest, easiest ways to improve your armpath and your kinetic whip sequence. I want you to envision two completely non-football-related actions: 1- Chopping down a standing tree with an axe. This would require a low, wide, horizontal swing path. 2- Splitting a block of wood for your fireplace. This requires a more vertical ‘top-down’ action. If you’re a QB with a low elbow or an armslot that is too wide, imagine your elbow is an axe and you’re splitting firewood with it when you throw. This will encourage a more elliptical, over-the-top elbow path.
