I hold Ihe hall the same way for my fast ball and curve. The only big difference is in the added wrist action in the case of my curve. , I hold the ball across the seams. | Actually, I never think about niy 1 grip, whether it is tight or loose, just so long as it feels comfortable. A lot of pitchers say they can tell the difference in their grip for a fast ball, curve or what have you I can't. I do believe it's good to ex periment with different grips but I have found I always feel much beter holding the ball across the seams The main thing is to get tho batter out. ? j ;? !_ i PQBIN ROBERTS A golfer forfeits his amateur statu* if he caddies after reaching his 21st birthday, according to L'SGA rules.
