Question
I AM HAVING DIFFICULTIES IN A CONSTANT BALL SPEED. IF I KEEP MY THUMB POINTING STRAIGHT DOWN TOWARDS THE FLOOR AM I SUPPOSED TO ROTATE AROUND THE SIDE OF THE BALL OR STRAIGHT UP BEHIND IT?
If you come straight up behind the ball, the ball will have a much calmer breakpoint shape to it. Very easy to control, but not very much power. If you come around the side of the ball, it will have a later and sharper breakpoint shape to it. More powerfull but a bit harder to control.
Good luck,
Chip
