Last updated: December 11, 2025
Answer
Find the Seams: Locate the two horseshoe-shaped seams (sometimes called the C-seams) on the ball.
Use a two-finger grip: Place your index and middle fingers across the widest part of one of the seam sets.
Position the thumb: Place your thumb underneath the ball for support, opposing the index finger to help stabilize the grip.
