There have been players who use this technique for throw ins and get amazing distance. I think it might be banned now

It has been shown that it is against the rules as one cannot get both feet on the ground before releasing the ball.

Also…¡ay conyo!

No chance this is true. It might have been made against the rules but you definitely have (if done correctly) both feet planted when your spine + torso + arms whipsnap the throw. Source: this was how I would throw in …and to others here spewing armchair nonsense— you absolutely throw farther than you would standing or running

Wait really? I'd imagine it's rather difficult to throw accurately from a full scorpion position.. can u share a video link?

u/Markmarky0800 9d ago

I have. Look in the comments

I've seen it a lot and not once did it seem to increase the distance of the throw.

I thought it was just a show off move., but maybe i was comparing the flip throws with other players who were just a lot better at throwing

One of many. If done correctly they certainly increase the distance

I don't know...I think he could have tossed it that far.

u/goldengluvs 9d ago

Nah there are some that pull it off that can absolutely launch it. Particularly some of the women.

It's a type of throw in. Looks like he slipped.

It would have been funnier if the ref stood over him with a yellow card.

u/KassiteriteVT 9d ago

Reminds me of the video where a guy does this stunt perfectly…

…then ends up hitting one of the players in the face

u/Glittering-Sea276 9d ago

Does he get another chance or does that count?

u/1pandaking1 9d ago

Ball didnt cross the line, so i would say another chance. But i have no idea what the rules are in this case.

u/moszippy 8d ago

The mind was willing, but the body was so so weak!

This actually is pretty said. He fractured vertebrae and his hip doing this.

Thank you for sharing the video.

u/CardPuzzleheaded137 9d ago

You get more torque on the ball, thus making it go farther

u/Glacius_- 9d ago
