i throw a slurve

its pretty easy

[WidowMakerOU812]

@master72501 an easy way to throw the 12-6 (for me its easy) just hold it like you would normally hold a curveball and grip it with the first knuckle of your thumb, and flick your wrist hard. Its kinda hard at first but it gets eaiser pretty quick

When I throw a slurve I grip it in a similar way, but I hold it like a 2Seam or 3Seam fastball with the pressure off the index finger. I get a heck of a lot more movement than on this guy, and it usually looks more like a hybrid between a changeup and a curve. If you throw it right it should look like a slow curve coming towards the batter, then drop out of the zone right before the plate while the batter is mid swing. I would usually use it as my "strikeout" pitch.
