Question
what's the thumb position if you want heavy roll and the 3/4 roll ? your answer will be greatly appreciated .
There are several ways to get a lower 3/4 roll. You can position your thumb at 1:00 to 1:30 fingers at 6:00. Or thumb at 11:00 & fingers at 5:00.It depends on your style as how it will work.
A high roll is thumb at noon & fingers at 6:00.Thumb at release goes straight up to the sky(no rotation around the ball).
