On the smooth release with no sound or bounce, does anyone worry about getting too low, and striking the approach while your hand is still in the ball ? I do. What is your secret ? Anyone ?
I've tried it several times just to experiment, but I could never grasp the hang of it.

Very nice!
Riiight it's still understood. Grasping it at first, getting the hang of it. We get the idea ;p

That, actually, is the most difficult part of my game: learning how to hold the ball gently and trust that it's not going to slip off my fingers.
That's what I'd be afraid of, as well. ;/

If you are having that problem you may want to reduce the reverse pitch in your thumb. Not much though, even a 1/16 could do the trick.
Maybe your pitches in your fingers as well. I know over the years i have shortened my span and most guys do because the hand changes over time.
I'll have to have that checked out -- but I think it's really a mental thing, since I've clawed onto the ball my whole life. I really need to concentrate on keeping my thumb straight in the hole, instead of bent at the knuckle.
I remember many years ago of using a little plastic thing called a thumb straight that u placed in ur thumbhole. Shaped like a musical note on paper. don't know if they make them anymore. now I use that clear 3m tape around my knuckle. thin and smooth. seemed to help me
