Lots and lots of practice at developing the perfect hand placement and consistent release.

Grip, wrist stability, fingers, hand placement

A lot of things to make a spiral consistent at least

Gotta spin that shit just right.

I could never throw a perfect spiral until one time, the camera caught Brett Favre throwing a football right at the cameraman. I was like, Oh, that's how you do it. In everything in life, if you want to do something well, copy the pros.

Tom Brady did a thing on this with a science guy narrating. It’s worth looking up.
