⚾ Driftball Grip & Release Guide 1. Grip Setup Hold the ball like a circle change, but modify the finger placement: Index finger: Spread wide across the top seam. Middle finger: Press firmly along the horseshoe seam. Thumb: Anchored underneath the ball for balance. Ring and pinky: Lightly tucked under the ball—don’t squeeze. 2. Finger Pressure Apply uneven pressure: middle finger dominates, index finger stabilizes. This creates off-axis spin, key to the Driftball’s late fade. 3. Arm Action Use fastball arm speed—no slowing down. Keep your wrist loose but controlled. 4. Release Mechanics Pronate late: rotate your wrist slightly inward just before release. Imagine “pushing” the ball forward, not snapping it. 5. Follow-Through Finish like a changeup—smooth, not violent. Let the ball drift naturally arm-side. This grip creates a pitch that looks like a fastball but fades late with a subtle wobble—perfect for messing with timing and barrel control.
