morepower4 Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 i may be stupid but i dont understand why putting spin on the ball could be good on a throw in. wouldnt the spin be harder for your teammate to control? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastsideimport1 Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 ok im not great at math but i pass and i dint want a math lesson on a message board but the spin can be a plus for the recieving player the guy throwing can spin the ball to roll in front of his man or spin around a guy its only a plus to the guy who know there team mates well and can make the throw right.

Hoya Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 I don't know the physics of why a spinning ball seems to achieve greater velocity and distance, but it seems to. A spinning ball is harder to control but on this type of throw-in no one is looking for control. The key to these throws is rapid pace and a quick, last second, redirection of the pace in a, hopefully, offensive direction. The reason Britton and Bryan are so dangerous as throwers is they don't use them in the offensive third simply as a restart opportunity. They use the throw as an aggressive offensive technique intended to be redirected at close range into the goal. When you can throw a ball with the pace and distance of these two, the throw in is far more dangerous than a corner kick because the thrower's angle of attack on the goal is better than coming from near the end line. If you watched the Bearden/Farragut match, you knew it was just a matter of time before one or both teams would score on a redirected ball off a throw in. Britton and Bryan are both excellent at this technique. Britton, however, is the best thrower I've seen since a guy who used to play for McCallie a few years ago who could throw even farther. I think his name was Garvich but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primo521 Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 If you're trying to snipe someone from a bell tower, would you rather the bullet take 3.6 seconds or 3.1 seconds to reach the target? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish17 Posted April 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 But see we're talking about throw-ins not killing someone with a gun. MRH is merely stating that Bryan's velocity and distance were better. They were in the air longer because they went farther. Both are superior thrower-inners with obvious thrower-inner mentality, but as far as last night's game went, Hill seemed to put BEarden in more danger. The throw-in crown goes to Hill.

eastsideimport1 Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 ok man the crown can just be given by any person who wants to give it its seems reasonable to just say "my vote goes to that guy". let someone who has seen everybody in state throw it in? and j/c how far were these throws????in yards if you can get it.

lcsoccer Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Hill set up the crucial tying goal. I would have to say he beat Colquitt in round 1 of a possible 4 round heavyweight fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCNO9 Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 I would have to say these thrower-inners threw the ball about 30-45 yards if my calculations are correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawgskeep01 Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 while Bryan is an excellent thrower..... his balls loop quite a bit, which is easier for me to collect if they are close enough to me, maybe even far out and not a lot of traffic is in the box. Britton is very dangerous because he can bullet the ball to the back post. None of Bryan's made it past the front post except for that goeal that Dedrick scored.

mrh11 Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Good point dawgskeep, I guess you got a better perspective since you were the keeper. And Well I'd say each throw went about 25-35 yards. And lcsocer, You are correct, except I don't think it was exactly a heavyweight fight, it was more of a lightweight bout... Ding Ding Ding, Hill wins round one, but Britton gets Calli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish17 Posted April 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Ding Ding Ding, I agree. Bryan took round one. Did Britton get Cali. I didn't catch the 6 o'clock news to catch the story. I guess they had nothing better to report about, but hey britton asking a chick to prom works. three more rounds. This middle weight fight will come down to the wire with these two great thrower-inners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastsideimport1 Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 OK i can throw the ball easy 25 yards no strugle i know i am not the best but what is the farthest throw you people have seen bobby martin a guy with Fairview has arms and a flip throw that can flat go about 40-45 no joke.
