Highlights

  • Throwing a curve-ball made easy
  • Curve-Ball grip
  • Arm Angle

It's all in the grip.

 

1. A curve ball utilizes physics and the rotation of the seams downward toward the hitting plane

2. The downward rotation of the seams creates a "drop" the becomes the curve

3. Using the grip,pull downward on the seams from the top of the ball creating downward rotation as the ball is thrown.

4.Put slight pressure on the inner part of the seam while throwing the ball

5. Release ball as if trying to break a piece of wood using a "karate style motion"

Be sure to keep your hand on top of the ball at release point, from there pull straight down on the outside seem that your middle finger is putting pressure on. Once you get better you'll need to choose a focal point to aim the ball at, generally at the batters hip.
