Description
The index and middle fingers are placed either side of the seam with the thumb gripping the bottom of the ball. The index and middle finger joints wrap around the ball to keep the ball away from the palm.
On release ensure that the seam is kept vertical and that the hand stays behind the ball to create backspin.
