Instructions

1. Learn the correct grip and finger placement. In baseball, throwing a knuckle ball can be quite difficult. The grip itself is a little awkward, but in wiffle ball everything is different. When setting up to throw a knuckle ball in wiffle ball, start by having the holes point towards the plate. The index finger should be bent at the knuckle with the tip of it lined up with one of the holes. The middle finger will do the exact same thing except it will be aligned with another hole.

2. Remain steady with your thumb. When throwing a knuckle ball in wiffle ball the thumb creates pressure. Depending on what hand you throw with, it should end up around either 5 o' clock or 7 o' clock. The pressure ends up helping with both the steadiness of the grip, but also the trajectory as it moves towards the plate.

3. Bend the pinkie and ring finger. Just like a 2-seam fastball or many other pitches, the knuckle ball in wiffle ball doesn't require much work from the pinkie and ring finger. They are used more for support then anything else. Simply bend them at the knuckles and they will just rest along the side of the wiffle ball.

4. Throw. The best part about throwing a knuckle ball in wiffle ball is the different angles you can use. Overhand, three-quarters length or even sidearm are possible pitching techniques you can try. Utilizing them all in one game is what separates the good wiffle ball pitchers from the bad.

The only difference in getting top spin when throwing a knuckle ball in wiffle ball is pushing your middle and index fingers forward as you release the pitch.
