pretty sure tennis balls.

[Jack Lambert]

pretty sure tennis balls.

They should use golf ball. Catch that coming at them they will catch a football.

Or wrenches. If you can catch a wrench you can catch a football.

Highly underrated movie.

The tennis balls are coming at them at a high velocity speed. The thinking is that if you can focus on catching those tennis balls then it should be easier and help you focus on catching a football better.

[Lord McBuckethead]

They should do that with their shoulder pads and helmet on.
Just saying, that equipment is going to be there when the football is coming.

That might kill 'em Jack, if it comes at 60 mph like they said.

What the hell is being tossed to him?

Tennis balls from an automatic tennis ball machine.

[OLJWales]

The third toss looks like something different maybe.

They are coming from a machine. So all are tennis balls.

I get the theory behind it, but in a game catching a football is what matters so only practice catching footballs. I don't see our baseball team practice catching or throwing anything else other than baseballs. Our basketball team doesn't have soccer balls out on the court. Practice with what you play with.

Sarcasm?

Cause if not, I think I'll trust the coach of the most prolific passing passing attack in CFB history to teach guys how to improve their catching abilities.

I think so too. The theory is the tennis balls will bounce quickly off the hand if the hands aren't soft and/or the timing of closing the hands at precisely the right moment isn't good.

There are a million drills to improve hand eye coordination which will in fact improve catching a football. There are numerous really good drills for football, basketball, and baseball that improve a skill that have zero to do with actual game play.

I used to toss my mom?s dinner glasses in the air in the kitchen. I learned how to focus really quick. Made quite a difference, not just in football, but in other sports as well.

Yeah, I hope there are some missed sarchastericks here. This is a hand/eye drill. It helps your eyes pick up a smaller moving target. And yes baseball players do practice hitting smaller balls, like practice golf balls. It also helps the eyes pick up a smaller moving target.

We used to hit practice golf balls (similar to a wiffle ball) with a broom handle. If you can use a broom to hit a golf ball then a baseball bat is huge when hitting a baseball. It makes you focus on hitting more on the sweet spot of the bat.
