Question
how wil i throw spares straight? i want to use a spare ball and throw straight on my spares,can u give me some idea how to throw in a simple and straight manner, thanx

Answer
During the release, try to keep the fingers at the 6 oclock position.  If that does not work, just try to point your thumb towards the spare you are shooting.  As long as you dont rotate any during the release, the ball should go straight.

Good luck,
Chip
