RZ Trainer Footage (Yep, me throwing again)

**SWVA-Football** · July 20th, 2006, 12:56 PM

Just figured I'd give those interested in the RZ Trainer some more footage to watch... as you can see, it doesn't come back to you properly all the time and sometimes that makes it tough to recover the ball without manuevering quite a bit.

At the very end of the first segment of throwing you can see the football doesn't quite go as far as normally before the cord retracts... I believe I screwed up and stepped on the cord (and didn't know it) and when I threw it, that caused the cord to scrape against my arm (very hard, too) and it rubbed it raw... it burns pretty badly but hey, that's the price I pay for not being careful.

I throw a few good spirals but most of my throws sadly go out of view before you can really see what they're doing. Because of the low camera quality it makes it even harder to see what the ball is doing, but this video isn't about throwing spirals, it's about showing the RZ Trainer to those that are interested in it (as I said before.)

The only other beef I have with it is that the football it comes with always seems to be "slick" for some reason. This makes it tough to get good throws and you can see me rubbing my hands on my pants like 50 times throughout the video in order to try and make things more comfortable. I'm not sure why it always seems so slick, but it may just be the material on the outside of the football... either that or I just have really sweaty hands (which I wouldn't doubt, heh.)

The part at the end where I throw it is when it is off of the cord, and I screwed up and nearly hit the camera with it. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Anyhow, enjoy!

Update:
Here's my arm after the rope-burn-like effect:

Take my word for it: If you ever get this thing, BE CAREFUL how you throw it to make sure you aren't holding the cord down with your foot, because you WILL PAY. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Dude i'm sorry but you really do throw like a girl, those vids are the funniest things i've ever seen!

Honestly chubz you may have a candy arm or whatever, but your throwing motion does look pretty good, it looks like you follow through correctly anyway.

I don't throw like a girl.. I've watched several videos of players throwing and I think it looks right.

Thanks.. I've worked on it for about 1-2 years, so I'm glad it at least looks OK. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
