tucking pinky
« on: August 04, 2010, 06:49:20 AM »
I'm noticing that upon my release I tuck my pinky.  When I try to release the ball with my fingers flat on the ball it seems that I hang up in the thumb a bit and can't get out of the ball clean.
What would this say about my grip??  I'm thinking that I might have too much right pitch in the thumb and my tucking my pinky helps lift/push my hand up and over so that I can get out of the thumb better..

I also notice that when not tucking my pinky that I hang up more when I try to get more axis rotation.
