Can someone post pictures of the best grip for a screw drop? I know it was mentioned in the thread Bill Hillhouse started with the video of him pitching in 1993. DD has a pretty good screwball, and can throw a SCRISE. Thought this winter might be a good time to try to learn a SCROP. Thanks!

It is.... Only with index or ring finger pressure for a tilt in axis

DD threw it just like a peel, step out throw in. More of an angle pitch but effective. About the 2:20 mark

The screwdrop is almost as easy to throw as a drop.....just stride/land to the left (RHP) of the powerline to set up some inward throwing angle....then grip and throw a four seam dropball.....most of the time the axis will have a slight 4/10 o'clock tilt....the ball is thrown inward and knee high....with the axis tilt it will "slide" in a small amount and break down.
If you want to simplify it even more.....do all of the above but just throw a low fastball....same result.
