Ok now you are just being difficultWhat I meant was that I always grip certain seams the same way - I just don’t use a 4-seam grip/orientation.

No - seriously! I was never taught a 4-seam grip or any specific grip for that matter when I played.Ok now you are just being difficult
I actually put my index and middle fingers right on top of the seams where they narrow and get closer together on the ball. I know - probably very wrong! I guess it’s similar to a 2-seam FB grip in baseball.Ok now you are just being difficult
So are you adjusting your grip to do this because if so then you are doing something (adjusting) that 1/2 are saying shouldn’t be done to use a grip that the other half are saying shouldn’t be used…hence the “difficult” partI actually put my index and middle fingers right on top of the seams where they narrow and get closer together on the ball.

Ahhhh. Gotcha. And yes, I literally just had to reread that about 5 times.So are you adjusting your grip to do this because if so then you are doing something (adjusting) that 1/2 are saying shouldn’t be done to use a grip that the other half are saying shouldn’t be used…hence the “difficult” part
If IF are doing all of that AFTER they field the ball they have bigger issues..And you think infielders are doing that while running, bending over and adjusting their feet?

It really isn’t hard to find a 4 seam grip..Did you watch my instructional video?
Challenge accepted!! (I will first have to work on not pulling 5 muscles getting down to field the ball )Honestly if you're not calculating the spin off the bat and knowing exactly where to pick it up so that the seams are oriented the way you need, I can't help you.
That's how I've thrown all my life, and I can get that grip without thinking about it. I guess if it was a bang bang play you might now be able to adjust your grip, but anything other than shouldn't be a problem.I actually put my index and middle fingers right on top of the seams where they narrow and get closer together on the ball.
