Nice spin

The thumb opposes the tip of the middle finger, which pulls around the outside of the ball. If the hand/wrist isn't cocked enough, I get some crise spin. If I allow my hand to pronate though release, I get spiral spin.AWESOME !!! Thx Ken B.
Any chance of a "still pic" of how you are fingering the ball. You show me that, & we'll call this pitch "KenCurve". We call our other curve "BM's CorkScrew"
Not bad for a guy with a mitt on!!
Real pitcher throwing a real curve ball:
Old guy doing his best to demo how a real pitcher does it...
The key differences being about 15 MPH, 30 years age difference and um...., one other thing....

Cool to see this on video. I need to cup my hand/wrist more to get it even flatter. Although I could feel brush going down to my wrist, I was doubting this until I saw the clip. Need to record myself more often! It really helps connect the dots with the cue and the reality of the visual. Bummed that the middle finger is blurred through release. I'll try much more light next time. We used DD's 6th Gen iPod for this and need to figure out how to choose a higher setting for capture (240p doesn't seem right....)
You get an A+ for break and a D- for athletic attire.

Nothing new about this spin. As far as I know, this is a standard palm up release.
