Best Answer

A football oblique shape alllows it to spin through the air, the quarterback puts a spin on the ball with his fingers when he throws it. The best spirals are tightly spinning and take much experince to master

How come if someone throws a spiraling football it will go further than if someone doesn't throw a spiraling football?

Putting that perfect spin on a football is all about the distance, its the precision it creates. Also the spinning makes the ball fly easier in between air particles, which results in the football being able to fly farther with less friction.
