- 1). Place one hand, the hand you use the most, underneath the basketball as you grip the ball with the pads of your fingers. Quickly turn your wrist as you release the ball up into the air.
- 2). Place your index or middle finger underneath the basketball. This should be done quickly, as the ball is coming down from your toss up.
- 3). Use your other hand to spin the ball around on the tip of your finger. Keep lightly tapping the ball to keep it spinning. Focusing is vital; don't take your eyes off the ball.
- 4). Keep your finger straight as the ball is spinning. Avoid moving your wrist. If the ball looks like it's about to fall, use your other hand to spin it faster.
