Question
How can I curve the ball and get a strike
The best way to learn how to release the ball to create rotation is to try and keep the thumb at a 1 o'clock position and during the release, rotate the thumb to 10 o'clock. While doing this, keep the wrist firm. Once you can master this technique and create some roll, you can then try to cup the wrist a bit to create more rotation.
Good luck,
Chip
