After league had finished today I began to expirement with different hand/finger positioning and ended up throwing some pretty powerful balls (for me) that had great carry. It seems as though if I remove my pinky finger from the surface of the ball while holding it (ie; just sticking it straight out instead of wrapping it up against the ball surface) I stay behind the ball better and can relax my hand more. This of course resulted in more revs and an ideal axis tilt of 45 degrees.

My question is, why did this help me to stay behind the ball better
Surely by removing the pinky finger I would be losing some support of the ball, making me prone to turn my hand early/top the ball right

I am a little confused by this, although not surprised because in the past Ron C's finger dancing tips have always done something different than what they apparently should do. I guess I'm an exception to the rules....
