    One other important thing Geoff didn't mention is to leave a space between the palm and the ball. This will ensure the ball will travel accurately through the air once released. To check if enough space has been left, while holding the ball, insert your fore-finger(index) of the non-holding hand between the ball and palm, from the thumb and index finger side. make sure you can see daylight and still be able to grip the ball enough.
