Grip the ball across the laces with your fingertips, not your palm
Place your index finger near the tip of the ball and your middle finger on or near the lace
Keep your thumb underneath for support
Hold the ball near your chest with the pointed end aimed at your target
Stand sideways to your target with your throwing shoulder back
Step toward your target with your front foot
Rotate your hips and shoulders as you throw
Bring the ball back near your ear before releasing
Release the ball off your fingertips, not by pushing it
Snap your wrist downward as the ball leaves your hand
Follow through with your throwing arm toward the target
Keep your elbow up and your motion smooth
Aim for a tight, straight release
Practice short throws first before increasing distance
Repeat the motion consistently to build a reliable spiral
