Question
please explain ball flair
Flare is created by the ball migrating from your release spin axis to the balls preffered spin axis. Ball reaction can be created by using this migration and can either enhance the balls hook potential or decrease the balls hook potential. Increasing the flare will make the ball want to hook sooner while decreasing the flare will make the ball hook later.
