Yeah I heard smithy say that about an obvious drop ball spin....
If you are referring to Parker's CB, I think it was more of a palm-down curve/crop (better than Ricketts in my opinion.)

Here is my cue phrase for the palm up curve. Feel free to use it as you see fit.
"half rise/half curve/keep it low"
IMO a palm up curve should display a slight lift action...aka rise lift.
You get an A+ for break and a D- for athletic attire.

So rick your saying the curve should have reverse spin on it like a rise?? Getting the fingers under the ball instead of the side?
