What would be the effect on a ball's reaction if the axis rotation was greater than 90 degrees? I would assume the skid would be greater. What about the effect on the backend move (greater or smaller than the backend move of 90 degree rotation)? Would be the ball turn at a sharper angle with an axis rotation greater than 90 degrees (as compared with 90 degree axis rotation)?

I've watched videos of Jeff Lizzi and it seems as though he has an axis rotation higher than 90 degrees. Agree or disagree?

Assume that your hand is paced in the strong hand position (MF @ 7o''clock and RF @ 8o''clock) as a right hander. If you were to release the ball with the fingers coming through and finishing in front of the ball, wouldn''t you get around 170 degrees(almost complete backspin)?
