    Try Bending you little finger under when you grip the ball or even hard up against you ring finger

    Have a look at Mike Fagans little finger in the ball
    Sure there are others as well

    curling the pinky finger? be careful with that though.. it will feel uncomfortable at first.. and if your not used with it, sometimes that can cause blisters or injury..

    Seriously? Must just be me that can't see how that can happen. I have a bad habit of curling it under during my delivery if I don't think about leaving it out.

    i can curl my pinky, but tends to get blisters on the pinky finger so i rarely use it.. i only recently noticed another guy curling his pinky and putting tape on that finger (to prevent blistering i think).. maybe i can try that some time.. lol..

    Default Jason gave me a good tip that has help my game a lot!!

    Its what one of you said about placing the little finger tight against the ring finger! I get much more revs, without the blisters, associated with it, and it actually helps in my release as far as accuracy! He also said while bring the ball downward to move the arm in a figure 8 motion for better hooking action..
