"Hey, I'm Mike, and today I'm going to show you how to throw a knuckle curve ball. When throwing a knuckle curve ball, the grip is the first thing you need to concentrate on. When gripping the ball, you're going to grip the ball as a normal curve ball, and then you're going to bring your pointer finger down onto the ball in a knuckleball fashion. This increases the amount of pressure that you place on the middle finger of the ball, and hopefully will give you added spin to the baseball, giving you a greater break. The knuckle curve ball is an important variation for many players, from the the normal curve ball. It allows you to have a different feel on the ball for those that have a hard time throwing the normal curve ball. I will now demonstrate to you how to throw the normal curve ball. And that's how to throw a knuckle curve."
