Dd was taught to hide her grip in the glove by Hill house but could the crook and cat paw method be explained more.

JAD - what’s the spin look like with that grip?

For a change, my daughter tucks a knuckle and throws it like her peel drop. Is 8-10 mph slower than fastball and drops down and away to a RH batter. It's a good pitch for her, but as discussed here, we do have concerns about it getting "picked" as she gets older. We have been trying to learn a "flip change", but also, as discussed here, it has been difficult to master. She doesn't trust it and has been reluctant to throw it in a game. We might be tinkering with Mr. Pauly's suggestion this winter.
In a perfect world you want little to no spin, but a softball knuckle ball is never going to "dance" like a baseball knuckle will. I apologize that I do not have any videos of DD just throwing a knuckleball, but in the video below you see it @ 2:58.
