Been using mine for over a year.... works great. Makes it easy to understand axis.
Do NOT use the ball as described in the video... the product is great, the instructural video is garbage

Can you use it for the turnover drop and curve ball? Tips on how to use it please.
You can use it for a drop, but not ideal... it moves too much to be realistic.
If the grip for the rise , curve, or screw are all the same (mine are) its simply an adjustment of the wrist and axis points.
Hold it with fingers in the grooves in a pinky leading, slicing motion.( keep the tip of the thumb pointed towards 2nd base) If the 2 axis points are east-west, the fingers will be under the ball producing a rise.
If the axis points are north-south and the fingers are curled to the outside of the ball, it'll be a curve. (palm up)
And then reverse the axis points from the curve by tilting the ball downward, so that now the axis that was on top for the curve is now on bottom. This will dorsiflex the wrist and cause the fingers to now be inside the ball creating a screw.
I call a screwball simply a lazy wrist rise.... if her wrist is flexed back and not solid with fingers under it... it'll screw instead of rise
