My fast ball only topped out at 83 so I had to have a secondary pitch. I learned how to throw a knuckle ball. But I threw it different than the claw method. I have a double jointed thumb and was really able to grip those laces. The coach was way to serious and hated how the rest of the team would laugh their ***** when I would make the oposition look silly. Batters seeing it the first time would just stare at me like "what was that crap!!" I never understood why no body could hit it until I faced a knuckle ball pitcher myself. You become mesmerized and it freezes you for that split second.Long story short, the coach told me to never throw it again or I was off the team. I think he is in jail now for tax evasion.</blockquote>
