Re: Best Way to Shoot the Balls??

Actually a spin on the ball will improve accuracy, probably backspin or spiral would be the best. In baseball the erratic behavior of a knuckleball pitch is due to the fact that it has little or no spin. It has to do with turbulence of the air around the ball, but since I don't use that stuff at work (and its been a LONG time since I was in school) I am unable to regurgitate any specific details.
