I have always tried to stay behind the ball and not come around it. The way I do it is, pre-set my hand the way I want to come out of the ball. You might want to try this tip a big time coach told me. Hold the ball down at your side, put your fingers at around 4-5 0'clock on the clock face, your thumb should be in the area of 10-11 O'clock. Stand at the foul line and swing the ball slowly back and then forth and then release it the way your hand was at the start.

Let your fingers come up thru the ball and don't go around it. If you do this slow enough at the line it will become second nature. It takes time to make a change, don't get discouraged. Let the ball roll and your hand will learn to stay behind the ball. I have done this for years and I do OK I guess.

This is the way that I learned to stay behind the ball. I balance the entire weight of the ball on my index finger throughout the approach, arm swing and delivery. If you can maintain the weight this way throughout........your hand will always be "behind" the ball.

Just a thought, how firm is your hand at the point of release? It is hard to come around the ball if you aren't grabbing it some.

Dizzy, do you know of a site that has an article about leading with the ring finger?
