If the index and middle finger are not engaged, what imaprts spin on the ball? Very intrigued by this as my (mis?)understanding to this moment has been that a peel is essentially a fastball with straight 12/6 rotation. In the grips you talk about, does the ball roll down the hands then off the fingertips like:

Ken this is a great comparison. No spin restriction like the thumb can restrict the ball from leaving the finger tips. Less grip or hand on the ball allows for more speed and spin. The ball is on the finger tips and not in the palm, so there is little rolling down the hand.
Ken you are learning and get an A+
