How to throw a knuckleball in softball

If I am ahead of a batter in the count they can count on getting a knuckleball.

The key to throwing the perfect knuckleball is that there is zero spin to it and when it approaches the plate, it will dip and dart.

I have been throwing it for two years now and I can drop it in as a strike about 75% of the time. If you are playing a team that's eager to swing the bat, I'll lead with it. I get more pop ups, whiffs, and poorly hit balls with this pitch than any other.

If you get the opportunity to pitch into a decent headwind you will actually see it "dance." My last game, I was throwing in to a 15- 20mph headwind. The ump came over after the inning was finished and said that was the nastiest knuckleball he has seen in his 10 years as an ump.

I hold my knuckler with all 4 cuticals and the thumb goes wherever is natural. Then pop the fingers as you release.
