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. 
The concept of ‘throwing the elbow’ rather than throwing the hand will result in a more efficient proximal-to-distal whip sequence as your body decelerates, which will accelerate your arm into full extension at release. 
**It will also minimize mechanical strain to the elbow and shoulder.

Maryland QB @kobe5starqb1 is a fast learner who has quickly elevated his throwing performance with this approach. 
Talk about a coachable young athlete!
